Do I Need X-ray For Painful Swollen Pinky Knuckle?
I punched a drunk dude that spat at me at the bar and my pinky knuckle instantly hurt. The next two days it was swollen and a hint of purple started to show on the knuckle. Is it serious? Do i need an x-ray? The mobility is still there so i dont think i dislocated it.
