Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Pain On Knuckle
Hi.So a few weeks ago i was hand digging out a weed in my garden. As i was fisting my right hand and pressing down to get that stubborn weed out (and i did) i felt a horrible pain shoot threw my middle fingers middle knuckle. I thought mayb i pressed down on a rock or something equally hard with a point on it. . When i took the gloves off i discovered a little bit of swelling and it was really sore. Now just over 2 weeks latee there is a bruised type lump on top of the knuckle and it hurts quite a lot when pressure is put on it. Should i go see my family doctor?

You need to see you primary care doctor to make sure you did not fracture anything in your hand, as well make sure there are no signs of infection.
