What Do Pain And Swelling On The Knuckles Indicate?
My hand got slammed in a door, the majority of the pain and bruising was over my knuckles on my middle, ring, and pinky finger. Swelled up a little bit but nothing catastrophic. Was pretty bruised and ugly for about a week and a half, my pinky and ring finger went numb for 10-15 mins for a while while healing but that stopped too. Now, about two weeks later, I have a strong throbbing pain in those knuckles and a shooting pain when I move the two. I didn’t think anything was really wrong bc it healed, slowly but it healed and stopped hurting. Now all of a sudden it’s killing me. Advice??

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
* The presentation of narrated symptoms suggest that there can be
possible nerve compression below the scar tissue formed in terms of
healing.
* In our clinic, I evaluate the patient with proper clinical signs of range of any of the immobility of joints, possible contracture initiation at tendon site or others and guide accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query.
