Suggest Treatment For A Lump On The Knuckle
I injured my hand and had to get stitches across my middle knuckle. It s been a month and the cut has healed but I still have a lump on the knuckle, furthermore, I still have pain while moving it. How long will it take for the lump to go away? Also, what can I do to get a full range of motion back in my hands?

Hi I am Dr Fahim and I will help with your Query
I have gone through your question. I need to illicit some more information.
- Was there any bone fractures of metacarpal (Hand Bones)?
- How deep was the wound?
- Was there involvement of any tendon or associated structures?
- What are the overall range of movement of your hand?
- Does the lump moves with flexion and extension of the fingers?
It appears that the lump is a part of the healing process. If it moves with finger movement than it may be associated with tendons, which will require a look by your treating surgeon. Pain will go will time, start some physiotherapy like holding a tennis ball in hand and pressing it. Hope this will help you with your problem. If problem persists do come back to us with answers to above questions. Wishing you rapid recovery.
I hope this will help you. Do rate my answer if like it.
