Question: I hit the back of my hand and now the veins are very swollen on the top of my hand is a large lump I have been putting ice but it's not going should I be concerned.?
Brief Answer:
Get an x-ray to rule out any bony injury.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your query.
From description it seems to be soft tissue injury . Large lump might be due to haematoma formation(collection of blood).
You need an x-ray to rule out any bony injury.
I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance.Beside icing and elevating it, you can take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin to reduce pain and inflammation. Avoid lifting weight and rest well.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
