A member asked:
I was rubbing my knuckle last week and felt nerve pain. when i looked at it 10 minutes later, it was really swollen and bruised. i've been icing daily and the swelling is all gone, but the bruising is still there. should i be concerned?

From your description it sounds like you may have popped a vein near your knuckle. This can be painful when it first occurs. The bruising is evidence of a hematoma, a localized collection of blood and it nothing to be alarmed about.
