What Causes Pain In Knuckles Of Hand After Accident?

My computer keyboard id acting up a bit, so please bear with the potential typos. etc. I was recently in a bad car accicdent. I felt fine afterwards even though the car wa s totaled . But the next day the main knuckles i.e. closest to my hands hurt so badly I couldn t move them, and below the knuckles down to the base od the thumbs burned like fire. The right hand eventually healed but the left just seems to get worse asnd worse (and I m lrft handed). This is very distressing to me. I ama professional quitarist and have been so for forty plus years. A nurse friend said it might be broken. Any ideas?
