Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!

I congratulate on you for the basic healthy steps you have already taken to prevent the complications!

It was very correct to keep her hand elevated and press ice on it.

Further I would suggest not to move the joint or immobilise it for 2/3 days and not to rub it!

the lump would disappear by 3/7 days.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing your wife good health.
