Do you think I have Boxer's Fracture?!
Question: Do you think I have Boxer's Fracture!?
So I was in vegas and I punched a wall moderately hard!.!.!.just for fun, you know how it is!. I woke up the next day with a slightly swollen hand that hurt, yet I still had full range of motion!. Its a little over two weeks later and there is still some mild pain!.
I can still play softball and lift weights, but notice slight pain when i clench my fist!. The pain is on the pinky knuckle, and the last metacarpel!.
So should I get this checked out, or wait one more week!? I'm thinking the latter, as it is getting better and I have full range of motion!.

We will probably never know for sure whether or not you have a fracture without an xray!. Let's play this out!.!.!. you go to the doctor and he gets a picture and says, oh look, you have a boxers fracture but the bone isn't displaced and you have full range of motion and it's been 3 weeks so the bone has already started setting!. If you want we can put a splint on it for another couple of weeks so that you don't move it very much til it's completely healed!. Then you pay $500+ for the xrays, the radiologist to read the xray and the splint!.
At this point I think I would wait!. I could buy a lot better things with my money than a doctor telling me i'll be alright!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Doesn't sound like it!. When our son was young, he punched a wall also!. He got a bad boxers fracture!. His hand was swollen to twice its normal size, it was black & blue, and he couldn't wiggle his fingers at all!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
