Suggest Remedy For Pain And Swelling In Knuckles

My knuckle is in continual pain. It swells and hurt often. It has been more than 4 months are the pain swelling is still there. I was told by one Doctor that I may have strained muscle tissue in that area. Don t know how true that is but the pain and swelling is getting worse. What should I do?

Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
here since you already have pain since 4 month i suggest to visit a orthopaedic doctor and take xray to see there is nothing wrong with your bones if x ray report is normal then you can visit physiotherapist who can give you physiotherapy treatment like ultrasound and moist heat for getting relief from your pain.
along with this you can also use hot and cold pack for getting some relief from pain buy anti inflammatory as well as relaxing and healing effect of both.
but if there is a problem with your xray and bones with internal damage the orthopaedic doctor Will suggest you for surgical option also here he may ask you to do some blood test to rule out there is nothing related to Rheumatoid arthritis or icreased uric acid level.
i strongly recommend to follow all about steps to get well soon take care.
