I think I just broke my hand...any help?

This is hard to explain...but...I just accidentaly got a pair of scissors lodged in my cheek. It's going through into my mouth- and when I pull it out I start to bleed profusely- at least a pint or two are covering my desk and computer- but when I shove the scissors back into the wound it seems to mostly stop the bleeding. My first instinct was to call an ambulance, or at least mosey on down to my local hospital, but I thought I'd ask the opinion of this astute boxing forum for medical advice first. You guys seem like professionals on the subject, do I need to get help- or can I just leave the object lodged in my face until it heals? .....................I'm just saying..................... ;)

Yes, hands if left alone don't tend to heal the right way unless guided. Especially if the crack was a clean cut through the entire bone.

ended up being a fracture. i definitely snapped the bone back into place after the punches. i actually felt it snap back into alignment. wish i had waited a bit and seen the advice in this thread about waiting because the xray didnt look so bad and i could move my pinkie well enough, but the dr. put a cast on it anyways. only $40 though, xray/dr.'s bill and all in thailand. t all for the advice. For $40 you did the right thing. Where I live it would cost almost 10 times that, and I bet you got better service.

I punched something I shouldnt have a couple of years ago. I took all the skin off my knuckles. I definately broke something in my wrist, but everything looked straight and good. So I just let it heal itself. It took a year or so before I could use my right hand normally. I know a year later I couldnt do pushups still because the angle. So, if you can bend it and everything works fine you should be ok. I couldnt hardly move my wrist so that should have been a sign to me.

Just cut it off, that way you dont have to worry about it ever again.

walk it off

Does it hurt to move it? if so its probably a break/fracture. I dislocated my (dont remember) ring or middle finger once...my friend popped it back into place and everything was fine and i've had no trouble since. i think when mine popped out of place it blocked/pinched a vain because the finger started turing purple/black...soon as it went back into place everything was fine. you should probably get that finger checked out by a doctor just to be safe.

You do not NEED to see a doctor. If you felt something "pop back into place" you probably dislocated something and it popped back in. Swelling will happen when you punch a door.... Wait a week or so and if you are still in exruciating pain then see a doctor, otherwise it is just a waste of a co-pay because they will probably just put you in one of those shitty little splints for your hand that you can buy at walgreens for $5 anyways. You definitely dont NEED a doctor immediatly but, you might need to see an anger management counselor....

if you heard something snap, that means you are close to dying ha ha ha to thread starter , just wait a few days. i split my middle knuckle once when i accidently punched the concrete. it hurt as hell and i couldn't see any of my knuckles for a few weeks but eventually it went down. just wait a few days and see. i don't know what kind of insurance you have so don't waste your money if it's not that serious. you can tell when something serious is broken in a few days if the pain and sweeling don't go down.

I just punched my closet several times in anger and when I looked at the pinkie side of my hand it was disformed. I squeezed it with my other hand and felt and heard something snap back into place. Do I NEED to go to a Dr.? if you heard something snap, that means you are close to dying

Do I NEED to go to a Dr.? Wait a few hours and see if the swelling gets worse. You won't die from a broken hand so you don't have to make a fast decision. At least you were smarter than Zab and didn't punch a shower door and need stitches. :D

HAHA Drederick Tatum!!!

This doctor thinks you'll be alright: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/208/448043268_5ebeaf9d5d.jpg Ain't that the same guy who wanted Tatum to kill Homer?

There are so many bones in the hand that any type of wrong connect without any protection can cause some damages. I would go see a doctor before the bones heal improperly and your forced to have a disfigured hand that hurts anytime you make a certain movement. The bones will heal in due time but do the right thing and get some x-rays to be sure that there is a problem as well as the best means of getting is resolved You should buy a bag and destroy that when in anger-kill 2 birds with 1 stone by taking out your frustration and work on your technique

just jack off with the other one. :lol1: lmfao!!!

you should have used Grant Gloves

Do I NEED to go to a Dr.? Ummm.... yes. Defigurations and snapping things back into place generally doesn't happen with a healthy hand.

just jack off with the other one.
