How Can Swelling And Bruising On The Small Finger Be Treated?

I hit a wall because i was mad and its been 4days and my pinky knuckle is still swollen and bruised. I have near enough full motion but its still hurts alot and when i rub it or straighten it it kinda creaks and feels like stuff is sliding about, do i need to get it looked at or will it heal fine on its own?

Hello,

Thanks for writing to HealthCareMagic, I am Dr Muhammd Ahmad, I have closely read your question and I understand your concerns, I will hereby guide you regarding your health related problem.

It will get better with time if you feel any deformity then better get a checkup and discuss about xray if no fracture then it will get better with time ice the area keep taking pain meds and keep it fixed and immbolized that will help. I would also suggest you to use topical pain killer this will help too.


I hope this answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask,otherwise close the discussion and rate it.
