Default Think I've broken a bone!

Punched summit rather solid the other night, now already have a busted knuckle anyway so seeing that dissapear backwards and inwards is normal, it happens all the time. Thing is there is a bruise, and lots of swelling further down my hand and it is a bit of a discomfort when riding the bike. Assuming possibly the impact crushed/fractured a metacarpal, can i get anything done about it as it will cause discomfort if on long rides.

I did that once, punched someone... er, something... rather solid and crack, crushed the knuckle end of my right pointing finger. It was pretty much knackered for ages but now it's fine, no discomfort, I stupidly didn't go to the hospital till 2 weeks after so all they could do was check it was healing- if I'd gone in sooner they could have set it better for a stronger repair and a better position, as it is the knuckle'll wear out fast and I'll have to learn to use my left hand for pointing with.

So, go and see a doctor

Signs/Symptoms of a break/fracture.....

Swelling
Loss of movement
Inflammation
Pain
Deformity
Unusual movement
Crepitus (that creaky/grinding noise)
Tenderness

Get it checked out at A and E... yes you could have damaged something and it might be that it needs strapping up. Take some ibuprofen 400mg, (assuming you don`t have asthma or an ulcer) one tab three times a day and that should help with the pain and swelling but it really needs x raying
