What should i do nearly my knuckle?...it is hurting MORE..please assist!?
i punched a wood desk about 5 days ago
Its been hurting ever since:
VERY sensitive to touching..if i barley put any pressure on the knuckle, it hurts reallyyyyy unpromising, and it feels squishy.
Its been red since the commencement and a little swollen, even tho i ice it a couple times a time.
At first, it didnt hurt unless i made a tight fist, now if i make a loose fist, my finger hurts, down to the middle shared (its my middle finger btw)
in addition...when i lay down at dark to sleep...its almost a pulseing pain..its not as bad as it would if somebody touched my knuckle, but its still annoying.
This have been really annoying..what should i do?
If i go to the doctor..what are they gonna do for me..excluding take an x-ray? if it is broken..would they even be able to do anything that i wouldnt be capable of do at home?
Please help...this sucksssss!
oh, and i kno punching a desk was a dumb perception.
Thanks guys
Answer: Must've sucked typing this lol. I know exactly your pain. I punched a 1" thick plaster of paris wall(and knock a hole through it to the brick base layer)...anyway, the best thing to do is to work it out. Just rob some tylenol to relieve some of the pain. Keeping flexing your hand and work it out. I know it hurts but it'll move about away in about a week. You're right in the order of the doctor too...they'll just xray it and send you a heck of a bill and the just thing they will do is give you a splint and prolong the invigorating by keeping it stationary. Dont get me wrong I'm not a doctor...but suck it up for a week or so. If it doesn't heal after that or get EXTREMELY worse then go see a doc...and practice on a calorific bag and not a desk :).
They will set it if broken, you may even need a pin placed contained by it.. next time punch the person who made you barmy, it is much more satisfying and less promising to break something. :)
