Finger pain and swelling
I was using vacuum cleaner at home and that has some Velcro attachments at the bottom. I was taking the Velcro cloth out and suddenly that latch closed. The bottom base of vacuum machine just landed on my fingers.
I took my fingers out.
No bleeding or open cut. Three fingers got hurt. Second, third and fourth fingers got hurt. Not on the joint. But it's above the joint. Exactly between nails and finger joint, that space.
After an hour, one finger swelled a little bit on that area. No redness on any fingers. I took ibuprofen last night.
I woke up and fingers are still painful and feel very weak.
I am able to bend my fingers but feel pain in that swollen area on that particular finger. Feels tight , numb and weak.
Is this signs of bruised finger? Or fractured? I did take ibuprofen and used some Diclofenac gel on it. I am worried if I broke any ligaments or bone.
