I broke a bone in my hand and just below my thumb there was a hard lump and it was extremely swollen and purple.
Is it broken? The exact same happened to me except it is not bruised only swollen, and my dad thinks it is broken
It's probably not broken. Apply cool compress and elevate above the heart to control the swelling. If the finger can't be moved easily, and the swelling does not go down, it may then be a broken finger.
It would be very swollen also extremelly painfull and numb :) Hope it would help :)
ask for help or do it with the other hand :)
Your hand may feel swollen for many reasons. Allergies is a common one, which may be caused by a bee sting. If you had hit your hand fairly hard, that could also be the reason why your hand is swollen.
