Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, this morning I woke up with the top of my hand being sore and stiff. I thought maybe I slept on it wrong. It didn t get any better and now it is swollen and warm so I m thinking that maybe I was bitten by a spider. I don t see any bite marks. Is there some way to treat this?
Hello. thank you for writing us here. it could be because of insect bite or maybe you hit yourself at night. You can put ice on it and take ibuprofin for getting relief from pain. there's nothing to worry about okay? it would be alright in 5 to 6 days.
best regards, Dr Gunjan
