Ok so I am new to this board, but I need help. Some days ago(not sure when exactly) I hit the floor very hard with my fist. It is now very swollen, and is not particularly improving. It hurts to try to extend my fingers(even my front and middle a bit despite the initial pains In my pinky and ring) as well as trying to close it.
Is it a boxer's fracture? Im on a trip so I don't think I can get to a doctor for x ray real soon
It's Floor Punching Syndrome.
Somethings fucked. Better figure it out.

I also want to know if I can do push-ups with it. My skin is feeling very tight so I've lost flexibility
>>17394042
Why did you hit the floor? What did it do to you?
>>17394050
Why would you want to do pushups with your hand like that?
Do they not have doctors where you are?
Ice it and take some tylenol. Get to a doctor if you want.

I was thinking "oh, this would be cool, I could do a superhero landing"
>>17394056
I just don't want to worry anybody. Stupid ik but I have no idea what to do
>>17394042
If it doesn't improve until tomorrow it's most likely broken.

Okay well you have my respect then. Not a doctor so you should go see one. Somethings swollen(obviously) so you might have broke something or idk. Just get a professional's opinion

Go to a local no appointment general practitioner.
If moving the fingers is painful then something is probably broken.
Is there a positive way to identify if it is broken? The initial impact was painful but my hand still functioned for a while after
>>17394083
Is it still functioning, or getting worse?
could be small fracture of some sorts
shit happens easily in the hand
