Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The soft tissue injuries and the hematoma that you have suffered is likely to be painful. It is best to use a hand brace or tie a crepe bandage for relief. Keep the hand elevated, avoid all sources of infection, take a mild pain killer.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
