Should I visit the doctor and should I do aerobics?!
Question: I'm a klutz. I admit it freely. I ran out of a room and managed to slam the back of my hand against the doorknob. I don't remembering screaming for a moment, I don't remember any sound coming from that impact of my hand and the doorknob but I do remember being on the ground on my knees, the hand between my legs and crying, head on the floor. Mom said she heard the sound of the accident outside the apartment, behind the door... ow.
So, there's some skin of (not much), no bleeding, bump and some discoloration and certain movements are painful, some are more painful and typing is a mild pain in the *** (read: discomfort with very mild pain when typing).
So, the question is: Should I visit the doctor and should I do aerobics?
I don't think anything is broken but...should I?

If it's severely bruised go to the doctor. If you can't hold anything in your hand go to the doctor.
If however you can use it don't go to the doctor. They'll just tell you to rest it.
Don't do aerobics for a week or so. Even if it's just sprained or strained give it time to rest.
