A member asked:
I think i broke my knuckle. recently i was kicked in the hand. ever since i can't make a tight fist cause my pointer finger hurts too much. ?

Knuckle: You probably have a fracture. Get an xray. It is important to make sure the fracture is not displaced, because if so, it may not heal correctly and you may have permanent loss of function.
