Suggest Treatment For Badly Swollen Knuckle

Hi, i m 19, 5-10, and 130lb.I was mad and punched a tree multiple times last night. It is badly swollen and one knuckle(that i can feel) is very depressed. I m worried(and partly sure) it is broken but i was wondering if i needed to go see someone tonight, or as my parents suggested in the morning.I sent a picture as well, though it is horrible quality and doubt it will help much.Thank you (upload won t work, link to picture) WWW.WWWW.WW

Hi,

Get your X-ray done as soon as possible. It could be a fracture, apply ice pack and diclofenac gel, it will ease your pain. Visit the ER department as soon as possible.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
