General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
I advise you to get the hand tested by an orthopaedician. There can be no muscle knot as muscles are all held tight in the body. The swelling(knot) may be due to some other cause which I think has been neglected. though the swelling has reduced the cause is not treated which is why you are still having the numbness. My advise is to see a doc and get treated as home remedies will not work now.
