Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I pinched my hand yesterday. Several hours later I noticed a large swelling and bruise use on the back of my hand. I applied ice. Now the bruise has spread to the knuckles on 3 fingers and up to the wrist. My concern is maybe I severed a vein and is still bleeding. There is no break in the skin and very little pain. Should I be concerned?
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have bruise in hand. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like blunt trauma , coagulopathy , anticoagulant medications , fracture or hand injury. I would suggest you to consult apply ice pack , keep your hand elevated and give your hand proper rest . I would suggest you to consult general surgeon for proper examination. Doctor will check tenderness and consistency order X-ray or CT scan to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with anti inflammatory , may surgical drain the hematoma , remove cyst or refer you to orthopedic surgeon for fracture.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
