Two days ago I fell on my hand and heard a popping sound which wasn't painful at the time but then that night I noticed it was swollen and it looks like something is deformed and it was very painful. The next day it was the same amount painful as that night and swollen the same amount. Today it is not nearly as painful unless I use my hand a lot like normal or if I touch it. I have no weakness or pain with movement unless its a lot. However my hand looks deformed compared to the other one. I am going to the doctor but I am worried he might think nothing is wrong because its not very painful. I have a history of easily dislocated joints. Any thoughts?! In the image I think its pretty obvious which hand I hurt but just in case you guys don't see it, it is my left hand which is the image thats on the left. image
