Hello,
It may be due to fracture.
For further assessment you may require X Ray hand after orthopedician consultation.
You may require surgical intervention after surgeon consultation.
Till then you can take tablet acetaminophen for pain.
Restrict hand movements.
Use sling
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
