My wife slipped and fell today And as she fell she threw her hand against a door (the top side) and since then there is a lump under the akin that formed of blood she is keeping it elevated and had put a cold pad on it for a while When will the lump go away?
Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with Chat Doctor!  I congratulate on you for the basic healthy steps you have already taken to prevent the complications! It was very correct to keep her hand elevated and press ice on it. Further I would suggest not to move the joint or immobilize it for 2/3 days and not to rub it!the lump would disappear by 3/7 days. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing your wife good health.
