Sprained finger

[lightoftruth]

I injured my middle finger (left hand) last night when using my punch bag (i wasnt wearing any gloves as i dont see the point as you wont have gloves in a fight!!) and i bent my middle finger. It was just a bit sore last night but now its really difficult to bend. Ive staarted taking 400mg tablets of ibubrofen to try and bring the swelling down.

My question is how long does it usually take to regain full mobility in my finger?

Thanks in Advance

it could be broken, but may need to seek medical advice ,

If you hurt your finger hitting a punch bag that doesn't hit back, maybe you should not even think about fighting.

Why are thinking that you need to train for a bare knuckle fight anyway, sounds a bit strange to me!!

good advice crete, and whilst seeking medical advice, ask the Doctor about your finger.

come on RATTER its the weekend coming up maybe just being prepared ?

He could be doin' as a form of self defence- he gets picked on, he floors the guy.....good on him!

[lightoftruth]

well i dont tend to get picked on...but as with all things is better to be prepared

Ratter-i actually incurred the injury when trying a palm strike but i just didnt get it right....and before you say that stuff like "palm strikes "are pansy...if u get hit by one you cant breath for bout 15 seconds..i know from personal experience...

well i'll see what effect the ibubrofen has and if it aint getting better by the end of the weekend ill go see the doc

hope your hand is better soon.
