Hand Injury

Question

Hand Injury

Asked for Female, 26 Years

Around two weeks ago I hit the back of my hand pretty hard on the car door. Immediate bruising/swelling. There is not a consistent pain but if I clench my fist or hit my hand just right the pain in my hand in almost unbearable and shoots through my elbow. My ring and pinky finger are slightly numb and I struggle to touch my thumb to my pinky. Could I have a fracture? Should I go see my doctor?
