What Is The Remedy For A Knot On The Head?
Punched a floor on Christmas Eve, immediate pain and knot on top of hand, above the pinky finger. Next hour, swelling was over top of the hand, fingers, wrist and palm. Noticed yesterday, the palm of the hand is bruised and some bruising on top. Trying to figure out if these are signs that it s broken. Thanks!

Thank you for asking!
Instead of trying to figure this out by own, how about visit to a near by ER and a simple radiograph scan? It will clear things up. There is no benefit in delaying that. It might need some orthopedic intervention as these small bones take longer to heal. Seek help and avoid these future Mohammad Ali practices.You will end up hurting yourself.
Take care
