I wacked the back of my hand against a hold on my woody a few days ago and am trying to work out what damage I may have done.
I have indentified my middle finger as the injured one. If I bend the finger e.g to do up a button or open a tube of toothpaste I get a sharp pain down just above the knuckle on the back/side of the finger.
If I move the finger with it straight (currently in a splint) then there is no pain, so I know the knuckle joint is alright.
I have come up with 3 options
Bruised bone- optimistic!
minor fracture-not too bad I guess
pully/ligament/tendon damage- not good! But can these really be damaged by an impact to the top of the hand.
Any/all opinions welcome
