Hand injury

[hsurunner12]

I hit my hand on a door this past friday. I put some ice on it and forgot about it. There is no visible bruise but when i clench my fist there is an indention in my hand. And next to the indention is what looks like maybe something is swollen but its a localized swelling. There is no pain in my hand except when you touch the spot of the indention. Any suggestions as to what it might be?

Hi

Could be a small fracture. It is common to fracture the metacarpals following hitting something. If you think it could be, then I would recommend a trip to the Doctor or hospital for an x-ray. Especially if it doesn't clear up in the next week.
