Suggest Treatment For Painful Hand After An Injury
I hit my hand on a railing going up the stairs, it cracked three times and popped once. I thought i broke it but went to the ER the next day and xrays showed it was not. it has been two weeks and my pinky and side of my hand still hurts, should I be concerned?

Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
If there are no signs of fracture on Xray, then i prefer To use following:
1. A drug like Zynase-D twice a day for 5 days
2. Diclofenac gel locally three times a day.
3. Hot fomentation.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any query you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
