Guest bradh Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Yesterday I bent my first 40d nail. I have only bent a couple 30d s prior to this so this is all new to me. Anyway, today it hurts to make a fist with my left hand. The pain is in the middle of the palm where the nail was pressing. Did I do something wrong? Does anyone have a recommendation to help it heal? Heat? Ice? All suggestions are appreciated. Thanks, Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest woody36 Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Brad, It sounds as though you just bruised your palm,make sure you have plenty of padding round the nail when bending. Nice work on the 40d! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Black Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 Ice is good, much better than heat in my opinion. I use gel Ice packs on muscle injuries, but for my hands I sometimes fill a container with water and ice cubes. I then just stick my hand into the container. Don't leave it in too long, but you will build up a tolerance over time. The first time I bent a 60-penny I did the same thing. I bent one 60-penny and then tried another. It was the second one that hurt my palm. Oddly, I've never really had that particular injury again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
