Suggest Treatment For Bruised Kuckle

I bruised my knuckle and it crunched when touched. I have a high pain tolerance but could move my fingers fine. The thing is now 5 weeks later every time I punch the bag lightly it instantly bruised up. Is it possibly broken and if so is there any treatment other than rest?

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you got injury to your knuckle. It is already 5 weeks back. You are now suspect that it is fractured and wants to further treatment. Even if it is fractured even then now treatment is mobilization exercises and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief because already five weeks has passed. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. You can also write to me directly on below link:
