Suggest Treatment For Swollen Hard Lump On Back Of My Hand After An Injury
I hit the back of my hand with a crowbar Saturday morning, dumb right? I iced the area for 24 hours and the swelling has not improved much. The pain is a dull ache unless I touch or press on the spot where I hit it. There is a hard lump where I hit it that is maybe a half inch high. Any rush to get medical attention or can it wait a couple more days?

You dont need to rush to a doctor for the time being. You can wait and watch as the pain and the swelling will take few days to resolve. For the time being take tablet serratiopeptidase aceclofenac combination twice dailly for 5 days. It will relieve both pain and swelling.
