A member asked:
Could i have broken my hand or knuckle if it's bruised, swollen, and had a grinding sensation. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A grinding sensation is worrisome. It is often a sign that a bone is broken. You should have an XR and be managed for your injury. Apply ice and go to hospital. All the best.
