How To Treat A Hard Lump On The Hand Caused By Injury?
I got hit with a baseball pitch in my hand. I went and got it checked out and got x-rays done and they said it was just a contusion. They allowed me to play as long as I could bare the pain, so I continued to play and just dealt with some bruising and swelling where I got hit. Now it s about a month later and I have a hard bump on my hand that feels like bone. It s right below the knuckle of my ring finger, but it doesn t hurt at all even when I press down as hard as I can on the bump. What could the bump be?
Give rest to hand and wrist. You can apply crepe bandage for support.
You may now need MRI of hand/wrist to rule out any minor fracture. You can consult your doctor by taking appointment, apparently it does not seems like emergency.
