Suggest Treatment For Severe Hand Pain Post An Injury

I fell on ice yesterday and my knuckles were bleeding and a little swollen. When I tried to pick up a small glass of water with that hand, it felt like I was holding two gallons of milk and I could not put any pressure on that hand at all. I had ice on it through out the night and I can make a fist with it now, but is there a way that it could be fractured or just bruised?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It cone due to minor contusion after the injury. As a first line of management you can take analgesics like Tramadol or Diclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.

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

Take care

Regards,
