I Punched A Wall And My Middle Knuckle Is Now Slightly Larger Than My Left And Tender
hi, about a 2 months ago i punched a wall (stupid i know) but it wasn't anything major hurt the next day so i gave it rest. my middle knuckle is now slightly larger than my left and tender. i can move everything around just fine but when i run my finger along it something moves. feels like a vessel or small string or something soft.

Hi,
PROBABLE DIAGNOSIS : united / malunited fracture of head of metacarpal
Since its already been 2 months and since u don't have pain it was probably a undisplaced fracture which has united.That thing which moves is a tendon which is a normal finding.The bigger size is due to callus formed during the union of the fracture.
