I smashed my hand...

[SorthNarolina]

EDIT: It's broken

I smashed my hand under a bookshelf looking back on it I don't know how I was stupid enough for that to happen somehow. Just one of those moments.

But anyways it was painful but I don't think anything is wrong. My hand is bruised from the pinky side to my middle finger turning all sorts of fun bruise colors and certain movements REALLY hurt.

But I'm guessing if I had a stress fracture/torn ligament or something serious I would know it. But doing certain actions like lifting groceries using my ring or pinky fingers feels like they are being pulled off.

I don't want to be a whiner but I also don't want to walk around possibly damaging my hand. I can get it x-rayed with the same co-pay at the doctor if I want. Sometimes it feels like a bad bruise sometimes it's the worst pain I've felt in probably 2 years or so. The swelling is going down some.

My grandpa would always get ridiculous injuries and not flinch so everytime I hurt myself I feel like a pussy lol.

Doctor or don't worry about it?

[YoungPanthers89]

i wouldnt worry about it if the swelling is starting to go back down, and that kids is why books are bad

[Mr. Scot]

I would still get it checked out.

[YourMomsLover]

might be something similar to a boxers fracture...and they cant really treat that. I say wait for a few days.

I would get it checked just in case. I had a stress fracture in my foot and didn't know it. Sometimes it hurt, sometimes it didn't so I didn't think it was anything.

[sunbunny]

Get it checked.

[GritsRgreat]

rub some dirt on it.

[Darth Biscuit]

I think my big toe is broken... it is swollen and red and hurts. I have no idea how I did this.

[Jangler]

Cut it off, cut it off now!

[Darth Biscuit]

Yeah um, no.

[Jangler]

it's just a toe, you need your ears for balance.

[SorthNarolina]

On the palm side there's a bruise that extends down the line of my middle finger. It feels really weird sometimes. I don't like the tingly or pulling sensations.

[Jangler]

yeah, you need to cut it off too.

[PanthaSan]

yeah, you need to cut it off too.

And send it to me.

I'm no Dr. but I know a few good ones and I'm sure they would take a look at it free of charge.

Or.....

Send it to Hawk, they gots free medical up there :D
