And should I be worried?

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It seems like post injury swelling so try doing hot therapy and cold therapy. Dip your hands in hot water for 3 minutes and then dip in cold water for 1 minute and do some finger movements when immersed in water. And do some hand movements in a day and do it for a week. It would help you. If this does not help, then visit an orthopaedic. You might require some medical assistance.

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

Regards,
Dr. Harsh Swarup
