What Causes Hard Lump On Thumb After An Injury?

I got hit by a laptop closing on my hand with severe force a few weeks ago. I could not use the hand for a while and now I notice a pea size hard particle at the base of my thumb that moves around ...and the area hurts still. Is this a piece of broken bone? should I require medical intervention ? should I just leave it? I am 63, with severe arthritis and osteoporosis.

Hi,

Get xray of affected hand focusing thumb in AP and oblique view done and send me the report.

Till then you can take aceclofenac + serratiopeptidase combination three times a day by prescription of your family doctor.

I hope it helps.

Thanks.

Dr.Singh.
