Definitely drop the 50 bucks and go to the doctor. He'll put a splint on it. I got mad at my ex one time and started hitting a bush (yes, a plant) and broke my ring finger. It took months to heal and is permanently bent oddly because I didn't get it looked at

Jose by obvious I meant, stop hitting hard things lol. Invest in a punching bag or break some glass bottles. You need a better outlet.

I've broken a total of seven metacarpals! Some more than once. These can go undetected and be very bad. Broken fingers are one thing but if it is a "boxers fracture" then you really need to see someone before it is too late. I have had two surgeries on my right hand and two pins. It is expensive, I know! Try and hit up a cheap clinic. They might be able to tell you if you should worry.

To change this problem I quit bouncing and no longer punch men in the face.

I would hate to see your grip training suffer, or worse.

Just a suggestion: maybe some anger management counseling? Last time I punched something I was 19 an it was an oak bunk bed. Boxers fracture and a cast for 6 weeks. When it came off I couldnt hold onto a 400 pound deadlift.

There comes a time to grow up and handle your emotions. Now I have a heavy bag and a good set of wraps and gloves and use it as a workout.

Punching people in he face outside of a ring is a good way to #1-go to jail and #2-get stabbed or shot. You hit someone and an undiagnosed medical issue causes their death you're looking at 3rd degree murder and 20-40. Hope its worth it!

Lotsa RICE and whatever the doc says..... If its nothin but a bad bruise or something minor I'd hit up the contrast baths once the swelling goes down. Remember the ibuprofen type stuff can mess up tendon healing so keep that in mind. Heal up quick man injuries suck I know this very well!

I've Broken several bones in my hand and several fingers.

They all healed up without surgery.

If its not crocked its usually allright.

Stop punching with your fist, use palmstrikes and heavy bitchslaps instead!

Works better and minimizes risk of injury :D

Good man. Lesson learned right. Been fifteen years since my last break in my hand. It will never be 100%.

Good man. Sometimes violence is the only answer but that is in very few situations when your life, or the life or safety of someone else is on the line.

First and foremost is to avoid environments that breed confrontations. Bars, etc....

Jose,

For a more cost effective form of therapy, buy a pair of earplugs :D

Last time I let loose on something it was a hollow door and a long ass time ago. That door looked like a shotgun was unloaded on it at close range. Probably 15 holes. The trim around the molding even broke free. My hands looked like a shark bit them up. But because it's hollow core no real damage. Just lots of scrapes. I recommend that instead lol
