I Have Pain In My Left Hand Joint And It Is Swelling
I (Shain 31 Yrs) Fall down while playing football (On 21 Feb 2011) and my left hand joint had some pain and swelling. I went to the hospital and took an xray and there was no fracture in it. after one week also the pain and the swelling didn t go off. So I went again to the hospital and they took another Xray and didn t find any fracture in it. As I was driving that time the doctor suggested to take rest for a week and if there is no improvement then take a CT scan for detailed analysis. I feel some improvement but I cannot bend the hand properly due to some pain. Please suggest how to proceed

In such injuries at this juncture of time hot fomentation and rest with analgesic is the cure. Amongst herbal medicines we recommend local application of pyrofex gel, application of crape bandage internally have 2tablets of myostaal and one tablet of punarnava guggul

Hi Dear,
First of all I would like to make it clear here that you have an injury. It is not something that has developed over years. Definately, if you do not have a fracture or a dislocation it seems to be more or less of a soft tissue injury.
So, therefore there is no need of further x-rays if the first one does not show you any fracture until and unless the x-ray was of a lower quality with bones not visible clearly.
I cannot comment on the hurry to get the CT scan done without being referred to a orthopaedic or sports medicine rehabilitation department for the rehabilitation of the injury in combination with the medication.
I would suggest you also see Physical Therapist of the conserned speciality to undergo the therapy for the same. Which would be decided after thoroughly evaluating the injury site.
Hoping for a fast recovery.
