Hello ndeleo,

Thanks for posting your query

You had injury over your 3rd & 4th knuckles And over palm while fighting .

It is tender to touch And there is no full range of motion .

It might be soft tissue injury or a fracture.

You need an x-ray to rule out any fracture And treatment plan acc. to that.

So you have to visit an orthopaedic surgeon for exam of hand.

Hello,

Symptoms can be sometimes deceiving, so I would suggest to get a clinical evaluation done.And if need a xray can be done.It's not always fear of bone injury, but the main concern is ligament and tendon injury.

Regards.
