Long story short I've got some power behind my shots and I was a bit of a rascal during my late teen years, most of my knuckles are permanently (seems like) ****** up pretty bad. I'm able to feel a tendon or ligament on my middle knuckle on my right hand wrapped around the front of my knuckle, if I push down on it I get a sharp pain in my hand.
I've taken up boxing in the past few months and before I did so, I went to a doctor and got X-rays, they told me everything was "anatomically correct." When I left the x-ray I told the nurse to feel my knuckle and tell me it was anatomically correct, she was squeamish and actually got grossed out by what she felt. Still the doctor gave me a weeks worth of anti inflammatory pills and sent me on my way with a fat bill to pay, the pills did nothing.
Even after doing all the proper rehab for any sore part, like ice packs, ibuprofen, etc. And even wrapping my hands really good, when I load up and really smack a heavy bag, I get instant pain and my knuckle swells up to three times it's normal size.
Has anyone else had problems like this? Any advice is helpful, thank you.
