On October 10th, my car door slammed on my right hand across the knuckles and the vein near the middle knuckle was injuried resulting in a large goose-egg knot. The bruising took several weeks and the hand has been x-rayed more than eight times in the resulting weeks. A cast was plased on the arm for three weeks because the wrist was painful. There is a small jellybean size hard knot below the thumb which is painful, in the wrist area. Some times in the morning it is painful to move the thumb and the wrist is painful most all the time. If I twist my arm, moving it, the thumb will pop and it is very uncomfortable.
