A member asked:
I hit my hand against the wall and it became swollen the day after. my hand hurt during that day. everyday it feels better. should i be concerned?

Be seen: I would probably be seen. Hitting your hand against the wall is a very common mechanism for a " boxers fracture" of the fifth metacarpal and so, even if you are starting to feel better, I would be seen and probably get an cray of that hand.
