Possible broken hand / knuckle?

2017-04-12 23:36:29
I punched a wall like an idiot and I think my hand may be broke. It's in the knuckle area of my pinky. It does seem to be a little swollen and it does hurt but I can still move it and make a pretty tight fist.

I would suggest you to keep applying ice packs every 4 hours and tie the finger with the adjoining finger to immobilise it. Give it some rest and ice and elevate hand...Try to avoid movements until pain subsides
