I think I broke my knuckle?!


Question: I think I broke my knuckle.?
I really need help , I was really angry so I punched the wall several times really hard , and I'm really not sure if I have broken it , my movement is kind of restricted I can barely clench my fist , it's swollen and bruised but I can't go and get it checked out :
1. Because my dad is sick of hospitals and will give me an earful
2. Because they'll think I'm attention seeking or need anger management
3. because last time I went it was just bruised and I felt stupid Health Question & Answer

Try putting a cold compress on it....simple way to do this is to put some ice cubes in a plastic bag and put the bag in a small cloth of somekind. Then place this on your knuckle. If it does not get any better you had better go to get an xray.

I would also suggest that you do look at why you cannot control your anger, as this type of behaviour can exacerbate if you do not leran to control your temper and could land you in a whole load of trouble. Anger management is really good, you should seriously consider this.Health Question & Answer

You can make a fist.?

If so, don't worry about it. Worst case scenario, the bone is cracked which means you will just have to wait for it to heal with or without the doctor. Tape it up to keep it from bending or you from knocking it on something. Then just wait for it to heal.Health Question & Answer

Sounds like you do need anger management. There are other ways of expressing anger besides hitting a wall. You probably did break your hand, and who knows if there is a lot anyone could do for it, but I would go in anyway.Health Question & Answer

Ibuprofein (sp.?), should help. You said you can barely clench your fist.? If you can clench it your good to go. Next time take a bat to a tree, or do like me and pull out your .22 and peg squirrels/birds.Health Question & Answer

i think you should just tell if you leave it it will get much worse Health Question & Answer

Ice it down and see if the swelling will go down. Which knuckle is it.? If it is the first two by the thumb you probably didn't break it. If it's the ring finger or pinky you may have what is called a Boxers Fracture. I would ice it down and keep an eye on it for a couple of days. If it isn't better see if your doctor has X-ray equipment it will be a lot cheaper than an emergncy room.
