Injured Knuckle

2018-01-20 03:41:47
Yesterday i Injured my index finger knuckle playing basketball. It’s a little more mobile today and the pain has subsided a bit. There’s swelling between my index finger and thumb but there is no discoloration and I can clench my hand to make a fist with only a bit of pain. Ican move all of my fingers and the actual knuckle doesn’t hurt but the surrounding area with swelling does when Imove it too much. I know it’s hard to reach a conclusion sinceyou can’t actually see my hand butanything helps

Hi, first of all you should ice it and apply a tape for compression around the area of pain. You should definitely see a Physiotherapist, to be sure about any ligament issue and get back.
