[|Human|] Hi, About two weeks ago i made the stupid mistake of punching a wooden door out of anger. Within afew minutes my hand around my little finger swelled up. I wanted to avoid seeing a doctor until the swelling went down. I iced it and took ibuprofen for about 2 days which helped a lot. The swelling went down considerably within 2 days but my hand is pretty bruised. I can move my little finger with no pain and still use my hand pretty much as normal. I went to the doctors and did the range of motion tests and apparently its not broken and she didn t seem too concerned for it. There is a lump above the knuckle of my pinky and i cant tell if its bone or maybe just swelling to the joint (it doesn t hurt much when pressure is applied to it either). I m hoping it s nothing serious or long lasting. Any ideas?
[|AI|]  Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you.a thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised along with x-ray. As any injury needs and x-ray to possibly rule out the fracture on a safer side. Also, since the lump is persisting you should take and x-ray. If fracture is not present than it's good news. Just with simple physical therapy like ultrasound therapy the lump will be reduced. As Therapeutic ultrasound therapy is designed to help activate the cellular mechanism and lose the tissue as well.
