Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Bump On Wrist After An Injury
I am 5'3", 109lbs and i have never brokenashy bones before.
I bent my pinky finger and my wrist a little funny while riding my horse a few days ago, my finger was a little swollen ansnthere was some mild bruising and i didn't even look at my wrist but there was some dull pain in my wrist and none in my finger, last night I felt swelling in my wrist, it feels like there's a bump now and there's very very light bruising around it, but there is no pain in my wrist or finger anymore... What do you think I should do?

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
From description it seems to be soft tissue injury . Large bump might be due to haematoma formation(collection of blood).
You need an x-ray to rule out any bony injury.
I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance.Beside icing and elevating it, you can take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin to reduce pain and inflammation. Avoid lifting weight and rest well.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
