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

[Trevbutler]

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.

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.

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.

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?
