hello, I participate in martial arts and last night I had by knuckle hit by a staff, it didnt hurt much at first but now its extremely painful to use it in any way, i have damaged my knuckle before and it has swollen but there is very little swelling this time,Thanks for your time
Hi.you have possibly damaged the periosteum...which the bone covering.there will be tenderness and swelling.Don't worry. I recommend you to dolor of ice in the injured area...apply some Anti-inflammatory gel in that area.possibly massage the forearm muscles...to ease of some stiffness and facilitate lymph flow.if you have any Anti-inflammatory medications prescribed to you, you can have them... Hope this is useful for you... Kindly revert in case you need any further help in this regard...
