Pain in hand
My hand got slammed in a door, the majority of the pain and bruising was over my knuckles on my middle, ring, and pinky finger. Swelled up a little bit. Was pretty bruised and ugly for about a week and a half, my pinky and ring finger went numb for 10-15 mins for a while while healing but that stopped too. Now, about two weeks later, I have a strong throbbing pain in those knuckles and a shooting pain when I move the two. I didn’t think something was really wrong but now I’m not so sure. Advice?

This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.
