two days ago i slammed my hand into the corner of a desk. now it really hurts when i touch it at all or when i lean on it to write. it is barely bruised and sorta swollen but i really hurts. i have been taking naproxen and icing it for the past two days but neither have helped. does anyone know what i could've done and how i could heal it?

i don't really know.... see your doctor though if it gets any worse, or stays like that. what part of your hand is it? you might have bruised or made it swollen.

its the inside of my hand right under and around the knuckle of my pinky

Have you seen the doctor yet? you could very easily have ligament damage. that stuff hurts and can take months to heal. a doctor may not be able to do that much for you but at least you can figure out what it is.

Sorry not a double post here but I can't find an edit feature on this. I'm not saying it's ligaments or not but I seen people have similiar type injuries and it genearlly turn out to be something similiar. Either way, I hope it starts improving quickly for you.
