I banged my fist quite badly and its very sore now its not going away what shoul!
Question: Well, first I would suggest not banging your fist. Since the damage has been done.... Check and see if there is any obvious abnormalities or deformities of you hand (that weren't there before....) watch for bruising and swelling. See if you can feel any instability or crepitis (moving around or crunching of the bones together) Check your circulatory motor sensation by squeezing something like a stress ball and comparing your strength to your other hand (have somebody help you, it's easier), if you don't see any of these signs and it's not getting worse, you probably just gave your hand a good whack.. throw some ice on it, rest it, and elevate it above your heart (this will make any throbbing hopefully subside, as well as any swelling)
.. but if theres any deformities, or you've lost strength or feeling in it.. or if theres any of those lovely crunching sounds/feelings, somethings OBVIOUSLY not right, and you should probably seek medical attention.

Ice it :>.
-Em
what did you bang your fist on?
either put in ice or in to a blow of cold water.
in the ice leave it for a minuet or two in the cold water leave it in a little longer.
