A member asked:
I believe a massage therapist popped a vein on the inside of my thumb and index fingers. they look bruised and are very painful. is it cause for concern? any way to speed up the recovery?

Injury: For traumatic bleeding,rest the hand,applying cold intermittently for 48 hours and then switching to heat will help absorb blood products. NSAIDS like ibuprofen reduce inflammation. However if pain and/or swelling persist,consult a hand surgeon for evaluation and treatment.
