What is the treatment for a lump in the arm?
Patient: Hi i shut my arm in a door at work and had instant swelling on my forearm double the size, I had an X-ray and found nothing. Now swelling has gone down I can feel a hard lump/ridge just before my wrist and my little finger and ring finger are nunb, tingly and purple. Doctor: Hello,Thank you for using healthcaremagic.I read your question and understood your concern.I think you have injured the ulnar nerve and/or ulnar arthery which caused hematoma (lump) in the forarm and changes in the color of 2 fingers.I suggest you see the vascular surgeon and neurologist for more examinations such as Doppler ultrasound and EMG.Dr. Selmani
