So.. i fell about 2 weeks ago carrying my son landed on my forearm / outside of hand.. like opposite of my thumb... what hurts the worse is when i rotate my hand, like left to right. I have about 75% of normal rotation before it hurts to much to continue. its barley swollen, no bruising, its does pop when flipping hand up and down (slowly) . I have loss quite a bit of strength in my hand all around. the pain hasn t gotten any better in the past 2 weeks neither has what little swelling i do have. I don t have insurance so I don t wanna go to the doctor unless i have to. thank you very kindly for taking the time.
Dear patient Considering your case possibility of fracture in your hand needs to be ruled out. I would like to advise X-ray of involved hand anteroposterior and oblique views to rule out bony abnormalities. Meanwhile, start tab diclofenac plus serratiopeptodase combination twice a day for pain relief.  Apply ice packs and crêpe bandage for swelling and pain relief. If X-ray report is showing fracture you need to consult expert orthopedic surgeon with report.  If its normal you have sprained your hand, and it will heal with crêpe bandage and rest. All the best.
