cracked knuckle

[matt371]

last sunday i had hit a brick wall because i had gotten mad i had gotten my hand checked and they said that it was ckacked, they had supplied me a brace for my pinkey knuckle with a tensor bandage but the problem is i had left it off for two days now because i thought it was getting better but today it started to hurt again and it is starting to get swollen so i was wondering what should i do leave the tensor bandage on or leave it off and wait till it heals cause the doctor suggested i leave it on for a weak but it gets itchy and earating and sweaty but once i leave it off it feals better and when i take it off it starts to hurt so what should i do i nead some help please.

This is amazing because ive dun did that many times...Right now i got to get surgery on my shoulder because my limbs and muscles are very loose from fighting so it gets dislocated very often when to much force is used with the right arm.. Your had will be ok i took mines off to when i broke my knuckle i felt handicapped with it on and i needed my lefft hand because my left hand is my dominate hand...Just be careful with your hand the bandages and brace was for complete healing and protection but its going to heal regardless..If its hurting you put it back on bcause its not healed yet and you could damage it even more and stop punching bricks go do boxing thats what ive been doin for 3 yrs now or do karate find an hobby to channel your anger with instead of a brick or a wall or a poll etc.. hope my advice is helpful

I have broken the pinky knuckle and the ring finger knuckle on my right hand, and unfortunately it never healed correctly. Its nearly impossible to keep these joints from movement during the healing process so the splint or wrap is only helping very little. Just give it some time. I spare and box and nearly everytime I land a good punch with my right hand it swells, its something that I realize I will have to live with. I can also assure you that you will never win a fight with a brick wall brother! lol! Be cool!

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
You should keep the bandage on. This also helps with giving support to the fracture and avoids rubbing between fracture parts and helps reduce swelling and thus pain. Please follow the treatment as advised.
Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
