Re: Fractured Knuckle?

I did exactly the same thing, pretty stupid of me. I did it about a week or so ago, the area around my ring finger and little finger bruised and became swollen almost instantly, that died down after a few days but i can feel something scrape or pull occasionally, that too has started to die down. All i did was bandage my hand up for a while and keep it relatively still, although there is still a little pain down my hand. I could move my fingers a bit, but i felt around my knuckle and got a friend to also and there was a slight crack and it would click out of place, i think it's nearly healed up now though. Bus it does hurt to put pressure on the area. If you can't move your fingers after a few days i would advise seeking professional advice but otherwise theres not really much they can do that you can't do yourself.

Cheers,
Izzy
