Is Swollen Knuckle And Difficulty In Bending After Gluing It Du To A Smash Serious?

About a week ago I hurt my knuckle. Its been fine until I smashed it on metal and ripped it deep. Went to doctors and they glued it. Now its doubled in size. No real pain. Not sensitive or numb. I can slightly bend it but not sure if the glue is making me cautious or not. Im new to this site. Thank you for your help

Hello,
I have studied your case and i think that you might have sustained a soft tissue injury to your knuckles. You have not mentioned if you have got x ray of the hand. it will be safe if you get it so that we are sure that it is not fracture.
meanwhile I would recommend you to keep your hand elevated and not hanging. Take tablet Brufen one two times a day. ice application is also good.
let me know your x ray report. I will try my best to help you.
Thanks for using healthcare magic.
