Go see a chiroprator. I messed up my hand when I hit a brick wall. This was a very old building and I busted one brick…ha, ha, there was another one behind it. Two bodies cannot occupy the same space at the same time. This is a painful lesson. I went to the doctor. He said, that’s not right. It will heal. Make sure you move it around (flex, etc.). Now my “flick you off finger” has an oversized knuckle. I never had a grinding sound…as everyone said, that can’t be good.
If the chiroprator is good, they will check out your hand using a variety of techniques. They will X-ray it as well. Bone cracking and such is their specialty. They may also recommend taking a type of vitamin/minineral thing. You may require a few sessions that will become less frequent as you go. Good luck.
Busted style. (Long story) but anyway I cracked some jerk in the skull at the Green house in NE Edmonton in 91. Missed a tournament because of it, Sensei Was PISSED!!! I was Humiliated but I learned my lesson. My finger still aches from time to time and I am reluctant to break concrete with that hand.
You should go see a Medical Professional DR, Chiro whatever as long as they X-Ray it.
In the future try to couunt to 10 before you hit a wall… What do you think your Superman or something?
Get it checked out, if you aren’t happy make them refer you to a specialist. Years ago a mate of mine bust the knuckle at the base of his little finger and it is smashed up for good. Sometimes his hand locks and he has to bash it against the wall just to free it up. He also gets pain in it and as time progresses this is getting worse, not better. This is all because he smashed his hand into a wall in frustration and the hospital couldn’t be @rsed to fix it properly at the time - they may think that your injury is self inflicted so stuff it.
Go see a doctor! I was sparring and got my left thumb smashed by a straight right cross (my left jab with a poorly made fist straight into his right cross…contact point my left thumb). Then, just to prove that I’m stupid, I hit a bag with the same poorly made fist and hurt it again. But last of all it happened again during sparring, and I had the humiliation of dropping to my knees in pain in front of the rest of the class. Not that they cared, but I felt embarrassed.
Bottom line: After seeing a doctor I got told that without surgery I would definately get arthritis. NOT COOl. Get it fixed. A 2 month layoff to heal is good, having to quit in 5 years time 'cos of damage is not.
P.S. Practise your kicking!!! Best time for it.

Thanks for all the feedback, i hope to have it checked out this evening after work, the swelling has gone down a bit, but it stills feels a little strange.
And as for the punching of walls…like i said, im trying, trust me.
Thanks

Its not what goes in a man that defile’s him, its what comes out.
I believe that you are trying, too. For what it’s worth, I’ve done my share of sheetrock damage (and worse) in my time, but since going on Paxil a couple of months ago I haven’t had any problems like that - although I am out $75 a month. And believe me, sources of stress haven’t let up by a lot. I’ve got buds in NY I still haven’t heard from, and now this girl at school thinks I’m stalking her because I tried to be her friend. To quote the great Chief Clancey Wiggum “Why are the pretty ones always insane?”
Bro, there are ALL KINDS of alternatives to Paxil that are natural and won’t set you back $75 per. Not to mention the fact that what you are taking is toxic AND addictive.
Email me for data on alternatives, man. Get off the junk. Jesus, you’d be better off smokin’ reefer.
Bro, email me. We gotta talk story. Tons of experience on both ends (weed AND psych drugs). You don’t have to be on a highly addictive toxic drug to be happy. There are a million and a half effective nutritional solutions.
P.S. Sorry. I just read the rest of your post. I’ll read your email. I’m going to sleep now. I’ll get back to you soon, though. Hang in there, buddy.
Sorry, bro. I didn’t get the rest of your post til now. I’ll read your email. I’m going to sleep now so I’ll have to get back to you soon. Hang in there, buddy.
You should definitely go have it checked out. There is no rule that says a Chinese martial artist can not see a doctor and must rely on dit da jow alone. Dit da jow is great for conditioning, blood circulation, some healing. But if you have seriously damaged your hand, dit da jow alone will not cure your injuries.
Ok Bruce heres what happened:
My rad on my car blew, then the engine went on my way to buy a new rad, to make things worse it broke down on a main street, and i had to call a tow. So i get home very pissed off, and i go blaze
a nic fat one to calm the nerves and…
my brother-in-law smoked my sack, not just one or two, nooooooo the whole bag, after that “fist through wall”
(The engine cost me 1200$ the rad 95$ plus install the tow 80$ the sack 120$)
