Swollen and Bruised hand?

Question

I rolled an ATV on Saturday, and my hand was smashed fairly good. Thankfully everything else seems to be alright, thanks to my helmet. I went to the doctor and they said the x-ray looked fine and nothing was broken. They've told me to keep it wrapped in an ace bandage, rest it, use ice, keep my hand elevated and take some advil, but it is still very painful. Is there anything else I can do?

Answer 1

I would head back to the doctor. Sometimes due to swelling they cannot identify a fracture in x-rays. Pretty common actually!
