Suggest Medication For Pain In The Knuckles Due To Sagittal Band Injury
I have been treated for a sagittal band injury (left hand 1st and 2nd knuckles) 6 wks ago-swelling is still very bad with alot of pain underneath my knuckles-going for MRI Friday-ortho is suspecting possibly a tear??? Why does it hurt on my palm as well?
Sagittal band emanates from volar plate and transverse metacarpal ligament, that's why a tear or injury of saggital band causes pain on palmar aspect as well. Small injuries heal by itself with rest while the larger ones requires repair a conservative trial of 3 weeks with icing brace and over the counter painkillers is advised.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rohan Shanker Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
