Does Redness And Pain After Injury Require Medical Attention?

Hi, I hit the palm of my hand really hard 5 days ago and the swelling is gone but my wrist and thumb area are very red and I can no longer see the blue veins in my wrist and have pain radiating from the palm of my hand up to my elbow. Should I be concerned. I haven t felt well all day and am concerned but don t want to go to the emergency room for nothing
