Could A Bump In Knuckles Suggest Sprain?

Hi! My cousin kicked my middle knuckles of my second and third finger about 3 weeks ago, since then there has been a a bump in between those knuckes and i cant bend my fingers back like i can with my other hand? Do you think it is sprained or just needs more time to heal?

Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist, Jay Indravadan Patel's Response

hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history.

As per the history it look more of a sprain of the ligament near the phalanges. Still I will recommend you to take an x-ray to rule out any bony injury.

Once It is ruled out, I will advice you to undergo physical therapy , with some proper physical therapy guided EXERCISES and myofascial release technique you can get rid of the lump and regain the full functionality of the hand and fingers.

Regards
