Bruised Knuckle swelling
Post Body

Hi! Im a 22 year old male and yesterday morning I angrily punched something I shouldn't have a now I have a bruised (or broken knuckle)

The pain isn't awful, for instance i'm still typing and drawing ok, it hurts but not devastatingly bad.

My biggest concern is the swelling is slowly getting worse, by the time I went to bed yesterday it was noticeably swollen, but when I woke up it has ballooned, I tried heat and ice but both have failed to reduce swelling. Should I be concerned?

Other things to note I can still make a closed fist, but with a mild to moderate amount of pain and i'm pretty sure its not popping or anything.
