Yes you should meet an orthopaedic because swelling and immobility are signs of fracture.. so that should be ruled out first. Scaphoid fractures are also difficult to be visible on x rays of hair line

Hi.. I would suggest u to meet an Orthopaedician ASAP because if it’s a scaphoid fracture( one of the small bones near the hand) it needs immediate treatment else there are chances of it going for avascular necrosis. So kindly meet specialist doctor!!
