Ruptured vein?11/16/2001 |
I banged my hand in the bony area between my pointing finger and thumb. A blue lump smaller than the size of a dime immediately swelled. It looks like I may have hit one of my veins. Is it possible that I ruptured a vein and should I worry about an internal infection? Path forward?
