Suggest Treatment For Bruising And Swelling On The Hand After Injury
In April 2016, an acquaintance pressed the area on my hand between my thumb and pointer to help with my headache. It was very painful which caused my hand to bruise and swell. Although it no longer hurts a few months later, it s still bruised and there s now a lump the size of a quarter. I ve also noticed that sometimes my pointer finger feels weird and stiffens. I don t know if the stiffening is because I m aging (57 y/o) or if it has something to do with the injury.

Hi,
If it is bruised since so many months later you have to go for a check up and a radiology study to see what is going on as this is not normal at all.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
