i got a problem

[CodyydoC]

hey,

 

i was playin with the dog at a friends house and hit the floor and when i hit it i messed up and hit it with my last knuckle. well as u can tell it really hurt and swole up to about three times its normal size. now its down to about twice as big.

 

it was making a really fast "recovery" but now its completely stopped.

 

i cant grip anything tightly and i cant straighten it out without forcing it

 

if u can tell me what the problem is it would be greatly appreciated

 

if u can tell me how top fix it i would be even more grateful

Sounds like you need to get that checked out by a doctor. May be dislocated.

[CodyydoC]

i cant get it checked out by a doctor

 

and thanks for ur reply but i think i just might have jammed it real bad

[Practise is the Key]

Go to your nearest for treatmen..like you i strect and train alot when it comes to this i recover so fast...i puch trees for hobbie bleeding knukles

[CodyydoC]

it stopped again ....i think it stopped for good, its been a couple weeks and it hasnt gone down. it got down to a little less than twice its size. i figured out that i jambed it real bad, and i popped it, and it finally started to go down then it stopped. i've heard of swellings not being treated or put on ice within the first 24 hours and never completely gone down.....

 

little worried because i cant hit anything... not even a soft puching bag.

 

my question is do any of you have a clue with whats going on with my hand and how to fix it? and if that swelling thing is true.

 

(p.s. i cant go see a doctor)

If you cannot go to a doctor then surely stop hitting anything at all. Your hand could be injured to the point of permanent damage should you continue punching.

 

I'll admit that I'm curious as to why you cannot see a doctor, but that's your business. Perhaps your instructor's (or others they may know) have seen your particular problem and can at least tell you what is wrong with it?

 

The "swelling thing" you are talking about sounds like calcification of the knuckles and is one way to develope large knuckles that are even somewhat insensitive to pain. There are safe ways to develope all the striking surfaces of course.

 

I sincerely suggest you at least seek advice perhaps from a master or grandmaster. (for your hand)

doctors cost money and i dont have any at the moment

is that a good thing? and its not really the knuckle itself thats swollen more like the bone directly behind it

i'll try to do that

 

 

 

thanks for ur input

Go to the hospital you don't want it to not heal

[Drunken Monkey]

it costs even just to see your gp?

[Sorynn]

You may have a broken hand.

 

The 5th metacarpal (the bone going from the base of the pinki to the wrist) is often broken when a strike lands on the last knuckle. This happens so often, it is called a boxer's fracture.

 

I broke it once, and the doctor had to rebreak my hand then set it in a cast so it would heal properly.

 

I wish you the best on your recovery.
