Will I Be Able To Stretch And Flex My Hand After Knuckle Bruising?
I badly bruised my knuckles over 2 weeks ago and there are no broken bones shown on the xray. The discoloration haa faded and most pain is gone, but the area is still sensitive. Will I be able to stretch and flex my hand fully as it could before the injury?

Hello,
I have studied your case. This type of bruising takes some time in healing so yes you will be able to stretched it but it can take one to two months. I would suggest you to do physiotherapy and hot water fomentation. This will help you to increase recovery speed.
I hope this answer will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
