Is Sudden Bruising On Knuckles Be Related To Pain In Bone?

Hi, I have bruising on my knuckles that has appeared over the last few days with no apparent cause. I haven t injured my knuckles in anyway, the bruising just seems to have appeared overnight. I also have bone pain, but I m unsure if the two are related. I would be grateful for any advise on what I should do. Many thanks

Hello,

Bruised knuckles are often caused from blunt trauma to your finger or hand. It may be a micro-trauma that you did not noticed. This trauma causes your knuckle to swell and bleed under the skin, though there are no broken bones. In milder cases, a bruised knuckle can take days to heal. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest to avoid activities that can trigger the symptoms.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
