When Catwoman Strikes!
I have a really large bump on the top of my hand which resulted from a blow from a stick. It is the size of a silver dollar in diameter and the height of a dime on its side. I have an ice pack on it, but should I be doing anything else?

You need mumbleypeg.
He has some products for just such a situation.

Sounds like a ruptured blood vessel. From a non-doctor, cold today to stop the bleeding and heat tomorrow to reabsorb the fluid.

Thanks. Will drinking alcohol slow the healing process? I was about to start when this happened. Plus it hurts and that might help.

Not unless you're into banging things when you drink. 
I'm familiar with the sequence. When in HS I sprained an ankle during a basketball game and some idjit immediately put heat on it. In no time my ankle was bigger than my knee.

Alcohol will actually thin the blood, making the hematoma diffuse out more. Which is not a bad thing... the lump will go down and spread out. The back of your hand ought to look absolutely smashing tomorrow morning.
Sorry for the pun.
Couldn't resist.

p.s. As a long time practitioner of eskrima, I've been there and can sympathize. I have a surgery in my future for a stick strike I took to the hand a few years back that chipped the knuckle bone and then recalcified badly. Burst veins are painful but pretty quick to heal.

I tried escrima once...
verdict:
That stuff HURT!!!
I couldn't quite get the hang of the "I TOLD YOU the object is to NOT get hit" statement.
Got the hell beat out of me. I sucked

Agreed...
Long as you can still wiggle and woggle all your digits. Not saying that they won't be sore...but make certain you can wiggle each joint by isolating it and flexing/extending at that joint.
Sifu had stuff..."Dit Da Jao" stank like reduced pig urine and burned when applied...but man it worked for exactly what you are describing.

Thanks Eagle! Still a bump this am, but much smaller. Can move all fingers OK, just sore.

Perhaps you should pick nicer friends, strike first or raise your fees so that you can afford a decent pair of hockey gloves
