What Is The Recovery Time For Swollen And Bruised Knuckle?
I had an accident that injured my ring finger on my right hand last week. ( 9 days ago) I thought it was just bruised, but it s still a bit swollen around the middle knuckle, I can t straighten the knuckle at the middle knuckle (sore to touch as well), and I can t bend the knuckle closest to the nail and that one is not sore to the touch. Is it possible that it s just bruised but taking a long time to heal?

hi,
I think it will be just a sprain of the small ligaments and as it's a bony area the bone must have got a direct impact. kindly try doing some hit water fermentation and use tennis ball to press hard with your hand. it will strengthen the muscle and help you get rid of swelling and pain as well.
thank you
