Suggest Treatment Foe Swollen And Painful Knuckles After Injury

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...i smashed the top knuckle on my little finger on Sunday, 31 October 2010, but without any swelling or inflammation i did not worry about it too much. a couple hours, though, it was slightly numb. and then a couple days after my finger kept 'spazing'. now almost a week later, the bruising hasn't gotten bigger but it has grown darker, more black than purple, and is very painful when pressed on or moved suddenly. i need to know if i just bruised it really bad or broken my knuckle. my finger has had injuries in the past such as smashing the tip twice and possibly sprained the knuckle.
