twistkick kid Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Hey there!I had the wonderful experience last night of becoming the class laughingstock. Normally, I'd be ok with that, but I'm worried that I may have done something to my knuckles or hand. I punched a wall while demonstrating Gae-Baek. It hurt when I did it, and it still hurts this morning. I have a limited range of motion with it. How do I tell between a bad sprain or a break?I'm gonna go see the doc later.

Ranpu Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 well from the way you said it, it sounds more like a sprain, but I could bewrong I cannot prevent the wind from blowing, but I can adjust my sails to make it work for me
Aodhan Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 It was at 9:20 PM... should have gone to bed instead Limited range in my left little finger and the knuckleYou may have just bruised the area and/or the muscle/tendon. The most likely place for a fracture is going to me the long bones running through the hand, not in the finger itself. This is also known as a boxer's, or brawler's fracture.Straighten your fingers. Tap on the end of the left pinky. If you feel a sharp stabbing/pinching kind of pain, probably a fracture. (You may still have a fracture without the pain, though.)

twistkick kid Posted July 28, 2009 Author Posted July 28, 2009 Just got back from the dr's. office.Just a big bone bruise for now... If they find anything out of place in the X-rays, they will call.The nurse had this look of utter shock when I explained what happened. She thought I did it on purpose.
