Exam needed: The presence of swelling after that type of injury raises the question of a fracture. At the very least a significant contusion with possible bleeding has occurred. Any black and blue discoloration? You should be examined by a physician or a hand surgeon. An xray will most likely be ordered. In the meantime use a sling and also elevate arm on a pillow when resting. Apply cold compresses to reduce
