Injured Knuckle, Swelling, Pain, Weird Texture Underneath The Skin. What This Might Be?
I injured my first middle knuckle and there is some swelling along with pain when i try to make a fist. If I rub the Extensor Tendon on the back of the knuckle it feels as though there is something loose inside with a weird texture underneath the skin, which is also accompanied with slight pain. Do you have any idea what this might be? I still have a full range of motion.

hallo dear friend
i hv studied your case
how you had injury
is there any stiffness in your finger
pain aggrivates on movment
full movement with full power possible
there might be tendon rupture ,or partial tendon rupture
if its full tear you need to repair
if its swelling only then it will subside
take rest , take some analgesic , hot or cold fomentation
avoid lifting weight
for further query contact drvaibhavg@yahoo.com
