How To Treat Swelling And Discoloration Of Knuckles Caused Due To An Injury?

I smashed my middle knuckle against a wall. (pulling lawn mower cord) it swell and hurt. its been about a month now and while it doesnt really hurt much, it s still very swollen. but not typical swollen. It isnt hot, or taunt or discolored. There is a spot in there that hurts if I push on it. but for the most part it s just a bit uncomfortable when straightened. I just dont understand why it s still so bulgy.
