How do you stop your hand swelling up after you hit a wall?

Ice and elevation: Use ice and elevation and if it persists or there is significant pain and swelling, see your pcp or an orthopedist. A light compression dressing such as a lightly wrapped ace bandage may help. Don't take a chance, get it checked out.

Ice, elevation, and-: See a doctor. If you have significant hand swelling after hitting a wall, you may might have a fracture or tendon injury. Be sure to see a doctor for a comprehensive evaluation.
