[MrDoctor]

Hello, I just hit my knuckle on a hard object about 20 minutes ago and I have noticed that I have a bump on the side of my pointing finger knuckle, going towards my thumb. it can move around a little but it stays in the same area. I was wondering if this can heal on its own and if it does will there be problems with joints down the road??

I did a little research and I think I chipped where the metacarpal and proximal meed, on the proximal side, where it gets bigger at the joint to join to the metacarpal, I believe I chipped that off and its floating around the joint area/ behind the knuckle on the metacarpal
