What Causes Bruised Knuckle Of Index Finger?

I have a bruised top knukle index finger. Yesterday it was swollen but now very tender and purplish in color. I didn t hit it on anything, but did do some lifting and mowing Saturday. Is this anything serious in which I need to see a doctor, or just let it be for a while?

hi,

thank you for providing the brief history.

As this bruised knuckle is looking an injury due to shifting of goods. As you did lifting I think do this the knucles are swollen and such. Which is nothing to worry about. In 3-5 days of time you should be fine.
