Noticed Swelling And Bump On Hand Due To An Injury
Hi, I fell on my hand yesterday and where I hit it there is a small bump, I m assuming it s just swelling, it hurt very badly yesterday and today it still hurts badly when I move it certain ways but it feels a little better, i tried applying pressure to other parts of my hand and the only sensitive area is the place where it was hit. Could I have fractured it?

Hello,
If there is marked swelling with pain on movements or inability to move your hand then it is a fracture but if you just have pain and mild swelling, you can move your finger without pain then nothing to worry it will subside in a week.
You can apply ice packs to reduce swelling and pain.
Hope this helps
Thank you
