Suggest Treatment For Swollen Hand And Hard Lump Near Knuckle On Hand
Punched a wall a few months back and hurt my hand was swollen to the size of a glove, recently punched one again about 2 weeks back and was swollen. But now my hand has a hard ball like thing near the knuckle and the knuckle on the hand is larger than the other. My friend said it may be cartlidge and might have to get it surgically removed. Any help is great

Well come to HCM
If you have not done x-ray for this after the injury, then this is important, because this could be fracture and now this may be malunion of facture, the only option you have is get done the x-ray, second this may be soft tissue inflammation, hope this information helps, have a nice day.
