4 days ago i sprained my 2metacarpal and my dr. said to take it the ace off ever 6 hrs it's still bruised, but there is a bump u can feel. what is it?

Swelling: I'm not a big fan of ace bandages i'd concentrate on ice and nsaids to bring down your swelling assuming x-rays are negative and minimal damage -you should be better in 1-2weeks.

Many possibilities: Some causes of painful “bumps” may include: bony overgrowths, soft tissue masses, ganglions, fibromas, and cysts. Have it evaluated by a professional to get the right diagnosis.
