Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Pain On Knuckle
Hi.So a few weeks ago i was hand digging out a weed in my garden. As i was fisting my right hand and pressing down to get that stubborn weed out (and i did) i felt a horrible pain shoot threw my middle fingers middle knuckle. I thought mayb i pressed down on a rock or something equally hard with a point on it. . When i took the gloves off i discovered a little bit of swelling and it was really sore. Now just over 2 weeks latee there is a bruised type lump on top of the knuckle and it hurts quite a lot when pressure is put on it. Should i go see my family doctor?
