How late is too late to splint a broken pinky knuckle?
I may have broken my pinky knuckle during a rugby practice 2 weeks ago. I don't swell very much (just something I've learned about myself over the years) so although there is some swelling its not much. I have weakness and pain and i am unable to touch it to my other three fingers when extending them and i am also unable to touch my pinky to my thumb and extend the three remaining fingers. It has been 2 weeks with little improvement so i am wondering if it is too late to immobilize, and if it is not how should i do so, and if i do that will i be able to participate in any practice. I don't care about pain in the short term, i just ignored a break in the other hand and it healed very deformed and still bothers me so I don't want that to happen. I plan on getting an x-ray soon, but i am trying to get some insurance issues worked out first. I'm fairly certain something is broken though.
Getting the pins taken out of my ankle tomorow. Kind of nervous. Help?
Ok, II will start by saying I'm 14 years old.Well about 4 weeks ago I was ice skating at my local skating rink. After about 1 hour of skating I went to do a hockey stop (which I had done numerous times before) and ended up slamming my leg into the boards and in words of my doctor "my tibia and fibula acted as a pile driver to my ankle". When it happened after cussing a little and being helped off the ice I went with my mother to my hospital. When I got there they reset it WITHOUT anestiesia(?) Worst pain I have ever felt. I wont describe it because most of you will throw up. Anyways I got surgery the next day and had four pins placed in my ankle. I already got one removed and I felt nauseous and dizzy but it didnt hurt coming out. Tomorow (well today) I am having hopefully the remaining 3 removed and I will go from a full leg cast to a half cast. I am very nervous about them removing the pins even though I already experienced it. I didnt cry when I broke my leg only when they reset it will I be able to manage the pain of 3 pins being removed again? Idk Im really nervous. So can someone help me? Also In a couple of weeks when I start walking again I am scared for that too. Does it hurt? Does it feel weird? Please answer these questions and the one above. Thanks SO much!
Why do the joints on my knuckles hurt?
I had them at young age. It turned out to be arthritis. you might want to get it checked out. If they hurt more after repeated things, from typing to (don't mean to be rude) having a w@nk, then that says there is some irritation. No need to mention the @nak think to parent or doctor, but any other activities that cause it to hurt more. For me, cold weather also makes my fingers hurt more. Below freezing a lot more. but usually gloves at round 40-50F.
Does it hurt getting pins out of finger?
Not like having them put in. Of course they numbed you for that. Before they take your pins out, you can ask whether you should be numbed up so it doesn't hurt. Everybody has different pain sensitivity, and there may be something about your pins that might make them more painful than others'. But most people who have this done say it doesn't hurt, and a numbing injection would hurt more. Just ask when you go again and see what they say.
Do finger tattoos hurt?? ?
Rule of thumb with tattoos: don't get someone's name unless its your child or you've been with that person FOREVER. My bosses have each others name tattooed, but they have been together for the last 12 years or so. Jerrett got Holly's name first and then Holly got Jerrett's name tattooed. I work at a tattoo shop I just got my inner middle finger tattooed and for me it didn't hurt, all i felt was painless pokes. It really all depends on your pain tolerance.
What kind of damage can brass knuckles do?
Depends on the knucks and the user. Meant to use with a slashing motion traditionally, open you up, lotta blood, little real damage. Will hurt you like hell if you punch straight on at something. Then there are the ones I made…no brass, moly steel throughout. Built so that the palm piece actually holds the face up off the knuckles, you can punch a telephone pole as hard as you can throw, feel nothing. Wicked damage to the pole, indentions a third of an inch or more and splintrs standing, vitually no effort in the punch. And conical nuts welded on top and bottom. Hope I never have to use em, but I have utter faith in them should it happen. Anybody takes a lick at all is down and out, possibly far worse. I figure you dont want to bring a red ryder to war, why think differently about a different tool?
When I wake up, my left hand's pinky and ring fingers are numb. Why is that?
The pinky and ring fingers (4th and 5th fingers) have a different innervation with other fingers.They are innervated by Ulnar nerve (other fingers are innervated by Median nerve).Ulnar nerve passes through medial (closer to the body) side of the elbow (medial epicondyle of humerus). This is why when you hit your elbow somewhere, you feel a radiating pain from your elbow to your pinky and ring fingers.You haven't discussed any more of your symptoms, and I need to know more about your history and ask you a few questions to tell you a differential diagnosis.But it can be caused by many things; most likely, bad sleeping position. Other causes could vary from swollen elbow joint, to an enlarged lymph node pressing on it, nerve entrapment syndrome (in cubital and Guyon's canal), cervical rib, cervical diskopathy to many infectious or systemic diseases.If it's been bothering you for 2 month and it does not improve with changing your sleeping position, the best thing to do would be consulting your doctor.I hope this is helpful.
In bare knuckle fighting how do you throw a punch without breaking your hands?
I feel like I see this question a lot, so I figured I would throw my hat in there.Foremost in my opinion and as Grand Master taught me, is proper form. This is two-fold, the first thing you want to do is make certain your fist is tight. To practice the proper way to tighten a fist my masters had me first curl the upper segments of my fingers and then curl them into my palm. This will give you a feeling for a truly tight fist, though I typically leave mine with enough wiggle room that the tightness isn’t uncomfortable. Granted, that room is next to none. Next, you want alignment, a lot of people think to hit with all of their knuckles and this makes it far easier for your wrist to twist the wrong way and actually deals less damage since the force you’re exherting is spread over all your knuckles. Instead, you want to align your index and middle knuckle with your forearm. This may be a bit awkward at first, because it’ll have your fist at a bit of a slant in relation to the rest of your arm.The bottom one is the ideal, in this form your fist and forearm and locked as a unit. When you punch, force is going to disperse over the entirety of your forearm and the chances of your wrist rolling go down tremendously. Not only this, but by having all your force behind two knuckles the damage dealt to those points will go up significantly than if your fist landed flat.2. Chose your hits, there are places you want to hit and places you don’t. The head in general is a mix up of critical zones as well as injure yourself zones. Ideally, you’re going to hit the chin to try and get the KO. If you hit the mouth? Good chance teeth just shredded your knuckles and you’re going to need to immediately clean that after your fight. Accidentally hit the forehead? You probably just shattered your hand. Now, the side of the head, about where the corner of the eye is is a place that will easily cave in. This is the bone in front of the temple, it is an easy break and will cause major damage to the face. The nose, while it looks good breaking isn’t really going to win a fight for you unless it’s pure shock value or you just uppercutted his nose and killed him. I don’t recommend the nose. I’m rambling about places to hit now, but essentially pick where you punch. A punch to the wrong place will damage you more than the one you’re fighting.And that’s it, proper form and proper targeting. That will keep your hands in as best condition as possible.
Ive had pins and needles in 2 fingers for 4 days what is it?
Children can be born with diabetes, so your age has nothing to do with it. Two of the main symptoms of diabetes are frequent urination and always being thirsty. Diabetes runs in my family pretty heavily. I have been tested and told that I was almost borderline diabetic, the doc. put me on a diet and wanted me to lose 10 lbs and come back in a month. I lost 9 lbs and was tested again my results were normal. I was told that if I stayed under that weight that I would be fine. You do need to ask your doctor. Some of them just do a fasting blood sugar reading (that's what mine did) the next time you have an appointment, don't eat or drink 8 hrs before and tell your doc your concern and maybe he will do one then. As far as the coke goes, if you think you might have diabetes lay off them, try drinkning diet caffeine free cokes.
