Suggest Remedy For Painful Metacarpal Below Wrist With A Lump Due To Fall
A few weeks ago I fell and injured my hand. The pain is the 4th metacarpal just below the wrist. I also have a small lump there. Xray and tc scan show no fracture at time of injury. Still very painful to touch and pain in certain movements of my hand.

Dear Sir/Mam,
I hope the xrays and CT scan have been seen by a professional radiologist before ruling out any fractures. Even then the importance a ligamentous injury can not be overstressed in such injuries. I suggest you meet a proper hand surgeon who should be able to diagnose the problem and help you further. Till then analgesics , rest and ice packs should take care of the pain. A cock up splint used in splinting your wrist should give you relief. Hope this has helped you.
