On this page there are A LOT of questions from people who have punched a wall and hurt their fists and knuckles. Some broke bones.
The questions are from wall punchers who hurt themselves very recently and are worried about their hand pain and what it means, to those who punched a wall and hurt themselves years ago and are wondering why they still hurt and have troubles making a fist and what they can do about it.
Rule #1 of Punching Walls And Other Hard Objects: Don't Do It
Rule #2: When you hurt your hand punching a wall/door/car/tree/etc, you better do your best to help your body recover as much and as fast as possible.
We’re all here after we punched a wall
I punched the door frame
😄 well I'm here after I punched my 150 yr old Oak Tree too many times 😣 and I'm also gonna look-up, 'what happens when you're born with no common sense' lmbbo. Sigh...youth 🤗
I punched my brother head and I pretend it doesnt hurt
@@zack1520 same it hurts
Exactly! I punched a cinderblock wall, age 15 and my middle knuckle is huge but the index and pinky knuckles are gone!
if your here it's too late
-.- mhm
my fucking hand feels like a chicken wing
Damn is it that bad lol? I was just stupid curious.
-.- same
Nope I just came randomly
Dont do that? Too late and AH IT HURTS
Yeah...I say the 'don't do that' thing very tongue in cheek....as it's always too late to say it. :)
same
It doesn't hurt when your angry ,and I once did it when I fell off my bicycle ,so the adrenaline made me feel nothing.
Gerhard Scorgie Lol I get angry everytime so I don’t feel pain most of the time
@@gerhardscorgie33 yeah but once the rush goes out you are there alone with the pain
Shout out to all the kyle's 🤟🏽
HAHAHAHAHAHA I have lived up to my name! Shout out to all my fellow wall punchers
as i don’t feel alone that there are more people who punched a wall in anger I feel less bad for my one nukel which is misshaped it doesn’t hurt but feels weird sometimes and is miss shaped
My knuckle hurts
Rip wall, rip my knuckles😤😤😤
CrazyCAO Broked them ?
I hit a hard surface with my knuckles as hard as I can, now I’m in some serious after math pain
How’s ur knuckle now? Is it still fine
Anakin Skywalker same mine is my first finger is all bent and my fist feels like jelly and i cant straighten said finger without enormous pain
@@Anakin-Skywalker. Get another robotic hand
I punched a wall and my knuckle hurts alot
Does it still hurt?
Luckyni broke my pinky
My knuckles are bleeding and swollen
Chen may10 I just lost the feeling In that part of my hand
Done the same thing i was in anger so i hit the wall on the same hand and its left me in alot of pain
"Don't do that ? "
I shouldn't have done that *punches the wall again .
Same bruh
Me too knuckle f up
I am laghuing my ass on since my knuckle isn't even in the right place, it is about slightly to the right.
What's it like now?
Mines slightly to the the left on my right hand
Me too
Could be a Sagittal tear. That’s a tear of the band that keeps your extension tendons locked above the knuckle. It’s also known as a boxers knuckle and happens mostly to the middle finger.
20 years ago, when I was a teenager, I punched the wall 10-15 times in anger. In cold weather, my knuckles still hurt and I can't open my hand fully.
Very good experience
Me reading this as a teenager who looked this video up cause i punched the wall multiple times out of anger 💀
@@ytnnrm8365bro I think my knuckles moves back
My knuckle is broken and so is my wall
Punch a door next time. They are softer and on hinges. I punched my way through my bathroom door and my knuckes are fucked up but not broken :)
i suggest u punch the floor next time!! your knuckle will break but the floor won’t 😃👍🏽
@@realityvanguard2052 punched my hydroflask and put a fuckin hole in it. Not sure about my knuckles right now. Some of my hand is bleeding cuz I cut it when I brought my fist out. Knuckles feel numb and weird as shit.
Good thing I live in an old ass house with the most solid wood ever so my wall can't get fucked up unless I throw a train at it, which I have (weights, my chair, etc.) and now the insulation is exposed.
“Don’t do that”
I wish I had that smart advice like an hour ago. I have this weird looking hole in my middle knuckle and it’s squeaking now. Help.
Time travel would be my super power of choice.
Read through the comments here and on the page the video links to, for what to do.

I was so angry when I punch the wall that didn’t even hurt the next day my knuckles were purple and it hurt like a bitch ever time y touch it
We’re they broken ?
Why were u angry?
Why are you?
update!
my ring knuckle is (obviously) still sunk, but now it’s starting to bother me especially since i play hockey once a week. my right hand is a lot weaker and gets tired/sore easily when holding my phone, playing video games etc.
i’m going to talk to a hand specialist to see what they can do, since my doctor was persistent that my hand looked normal in the x-rays. although i would love to get my hand back to its normal form, i know the only actual way to do that is surgery. hoping i don’t need surgery or injections or anything to get relief.
Let us know what the hand specialist says.
Gotta thing that shit out my boy
So what happened
Lol i punched one of those big ass metal garbage bins and broke a knuckle but it healed and its completly fine now and looks the same? It was creaking at the time
Better is good!
I broke my pinky when i punched my brother oww
Yeah I think I just fractured one of mine and it creaks whenever I rub over it with another finger🤔
How bad was your mobility after you hit it, i hit mine a couple nights ago, i can move it but its painful to stretch my hand completely out
Matthew Marion, same here, but i think it's going to get fixed and extremely turn more powerful than before, so don't worry
I've never had any issue punching walls. But a head on car collision caused my knuckle fracture on impact while holding the steering wheel.
Punched a wall maybe five years ago. The pain was pretty bad at first, but didn’t think I needed to go to the doctor. These days, it will go for months without hurting, and then randomly feel tight and tingly for a few days, and then feel fine again for months. It’s been this process since I punched the wall.
Look at getting a physiotherapist. Go see a Gp, make it sound bad that it’s bothering you, get an x ray and ultrasound and go from there. I punched a wall as well and know my middle finger is slight bent on the other finger and it makes a slight join crack sound when I pull my finger backwards. Fucking annoying that I have to live with it.
@@extremisttotheextremeantid7554 went to a hand specialist and and it’s basically a bone bruise and some carpal tunnel that reoccurs with certain motion. Probably not a big deal but definitely annoying it’s here for the long haul.
@@dgandjsjourneys3416 my man ive just broken 4 knuckles i think cuz i punched a brick wall full force

Apparently I don't 🤣
Bro it’s to late to learn 😢
Anger issues are a curse i swear. Punched the wall twice. Three weeks ago. Now the second knuckle on my right hand is noticably bigger than the rest. No fracture. But i now have the hand of an ogre. Great!
Dude same my second knuckle on my right hand is much bigger than the rest :/
Same but it hurts as hell trying to put pressure on it 🙂
I had enough on right hand. Now I'm using my left hand.
@@bigboy535me to I put pressure on my knuckle and it feels bumpy and big and it really hurts now but my right knuckle it perfect
My whole right hand was swollen and I fractured it never went to a pro because I didn’t have insurance so it healed wrong but I can still make a fist
For me, it's a combination of wall punching and pushups.
To be fair, I tried to hold back and do so softly-as well as pick hollow walls (mostly). But I won't lie and say I wasn't mad sometimes and tested denser ones.
Pain has settled in the pinky's side of the wrist, flairs when I rotate it and even more so when flipping an object in my hand. I can actually pop it by squeezing it with my other thumb, but that might have come from me just doing so out of habit.
Been like this for over a week, ant to get back to push ups. Considering waiting two more weeks while continuing to stretch it, and putting some ice on it.
As everybody learns sooner or later, there is no 'testing' a wall...there is only damaging your hand. Or...there is only losing that contest. Ice and ice dips, the more the merrier.
Gl.
Pretty sure we are all here because we did what we shouldn't have done and now looking for answers
Next time im punching someone ill bring mma gloves ffs
Currently here because earlier in school I punched the wall and my knuckle was so bruised and swollen that the nurse wrapped it. How are y’all doing?
I'm good after a month or so.
I punch someone in the face and had a hairline fracture on my index knuckle. I had a cast for a week and now a bandage with tape and I have GCSEs in a month. WINNING
Is your hand back to normal after 3 years?
I got involved with other peoples argument at a family event and got hot-headed. walked away after telling them off and like a complete idiot I punched a door. Now 2 knuckles down and a usable but still weak grip a week after the cast came off after having the hand in the cast for 4 weeks. Good life lesson though, 1 second of anger can really mess up things quick.
Yes, unfortunately it really really can. Just takes a second for things to turn south....
once my dad got in a street fight and punched the floor instead of the person (yes, he was drunk lmao) but now his knuckle is sharper and more efficient than before, can you explain this?
Say more about 'sharper' and 'more efficient'. I can imagine the former but not sure what you mean by 'more efficient'.
TendonitisExpert I meant more efficient by doing more damage, I might of worded it wrong hahah
Well, depending on the angle at which his knuckle hit the floor, and various variables, the knuckle could have been reshaped, and harden into that shape. A 'pointier' shape would be well advised to NOT puch a hard object like a floor again....
TendonitisExpert ok thank you hahaha
I punched a marble wall about 1.5 years ago with both hands. I hit the wall with pretty much everything I had and threw a good 4 punches with each hand before the pain became too much. Fast forward to now and all the fingers on my right hand are slanted to a very noticeable degree. While my left hand isn’t as bad. Will this cause any future complications? Do I need surgery to fix it? Are there any therapy exercises I can do to keep the little dexterity I have left in my fingers?
Will it cause future complications? Depends on what exactly the situation is. Did you restructure your hand(s) in such a way that there's ongoing inflammation/swelling/joint compression etc that will lead to future pain and some amount of (joint) deformation?
May not have said that very well, but what I"m trying to say is that with your hand restructured the way it currently is, there's a spectrum with from 'no future problems' to 'lots of future pain and problem'.
I'm not an expert on the surgical aspects, but I doubt it can be fixed (back to normal, or normal shape), and the damage that would be done trying to fix in on small structures....probably wouldn't be pretty. Again, i'm not the expert on that, wouldn't hurt to have a hand surgeon take a look....but I'd bet a dollar he'd take a look and say something along the lines "it's not worth the risk (normal surgery risks, plus making matters worse) and pain/recovery time post-surgery".
I play tennis and I had punched the wall. I got a splint and everything for the pinkie knuckle and they took it off about 4 weeks after , but I play high level tennis and damn my pinky knucle hurts and the wrist even though it never was broken. I'm afraid that there is something worse or is it normal to have pain. I take a lot of impact on the racquet when receiving as well. I'm just trying to get into college through tennis and I'm genuinely worried. So what could be going on with my hand doc?
Hi Sara. It's notmal to have pain. Walls are a lot tougher than fists/knuckles, and it sounds like you hit hard enough to lose the battle pretty significantly. How bad does it hurt, how hard did you hit the wall, what's the knuckle look/feel like (is is deformed/misshapen now, etc)?
Mine doesn’t hurt anymore, it’s just the cartilage but oddly enough it’s beginning to look more normal.
@Usuario Público I do
I was trying to keep something from falling out of the fridge and somehow punched a shelf in the process. I can't flex it at all but I can move it as long as there's no pressure working against it.
tip: Ice. It helps low down the pain, it faster the healing and helps with inflamation. If you use pins/ made a surgery, ask for a doctor to help with It, and have patience. After one month, start taking weak punches to sand, for about 2 months. It Will cause minor fracture if done correctly, and the body will make a protective bone layer for it
Yep, icing don't efficiently can greatly speed up healing times. I personally wouldn't put a lot of faith in the 'protective bone layer'. The body will do what it can, but it's not as protective as one might hope.
2 days back I punched a concrete wall with with all my might in anger, now my pinky knuckle is still in pain, hope it recovers quickly.
I used to do knuckle push-ups.
@@Surya99999 how long did the swelling last

How it healed pls update
i punch a solid iron bar thats like 3stories high at work and now my pinky and ring finger knuckles are non existent lol its just flat with no shap and a huge swelling
I hit a wall a couple nights ago and i woke up to it still being swollen. Should i see a doctor? I can make a fist with pain but hard to hold a straight hand
Only you can decide whether you should go see a doctor or not.
How much pain when making a fist? How/why hard to hold a straight hand? (because of the swelling?)
I have being practising punches on walls and floor helped me to reduce pain and punch faster. I hope I don't overdo if this is the case
I was swinging my arms, and then it happened. It really hurts.
Did the same and now i got a broken index knuckle
@@moodyunruly6304 the same bro my index knuckle broke during a fight my hand is fine but the shape of the knuckle is weird
I rather break drywall, than hurt someone I love! I hope that person understands. I know I need work no question about it. Trying to change is hard.
Good. As you should. Violence against someone you love is a terrible idea.
Having said that, try a mattress, a couch, etc, instead of a wall You love yourself, yes? Don't damage yourself.
@@TendonitisExpert Respect. #JesusIsKing
I actually punched the wall and found something squishy in the middle of my knnuckle but its fixed now, i'm training it and now its stronger and better, i actually feel more confident now.
Have been punching walls since I was a kid. Had a notion that slowly my fists would be stronger than normal after repeated injury+healing.
A few days back the rightmost knucle on the right fist got injured a bit and healed later slightly abnornally and its larger in comparison to my left hand's knucle.
Hence watching this video😂😂.
Hope theres a way for it to be aligned straight again by knucle pushups lol
Thanks for reassuring me....
Reassuring more like snap back to reality
I got into a fight around 7 months ago and it’s still swollen barely on the knuckle. It’s also painful a little bit. I can’t bend it as far back as my left hand. The doctor didn’t know the issue nothing was broken as x rays were taken so I’m left clueless
Check out the page linked under the video. That expains everything (plus lots of Q&A). Basically, you impacted the dense tissue of the knuckle, it's swollen (and thus the joint is pressing into itself), inflammed (pain and swelling), etc.
TendonitisExpert I did the same
Yeah mee too i just got on a fight with somebody like a week ago and my hand still hurting
I broke my hand twice fighting, the second time you could barely see it on the X-ray
Same thing here
Hello, I recently broke both of my 5th metacarpal bones in both hands due to a boxing class, I defeated my opponent but ended up breaking my hands. When the dr got the X-rays he told me I don’t need a closed reduction and/or surgery I put in a cast then a splint, fast forward 6 weeks I just took off my splints and at first I wasn’t feeling or seeing my knuckles, now I do just I don’t see them like before kind of like sunken, but they’re improving in appearance. Im now starting to see and feel the bones at my pinky knuckle/metacarpal bone, I don’t know if it will be like before or if I need to give it more time to fully see it like before. Also my other knuckles (third and fourth on right hand) seem a little tilted I don’t know if this is because of how the splint was squeezed on them or if they dislocated a little. The dr told me nothing on the X-ray shows that. When I make a fist it hurts me, and feels stiff I guess because it just healed but not fully solid yet. My question is, will my pinky knuckles every show again when I make a full fist? And will my other knuckles straighten again or will I need to put certain stresses on them to align them again? (They’re not that tilted, you can’t see it with the naked eye, im just a little detailed) I’m not even sure if they titled or if they just look bigger at an angle, however I feel my hands got stronger and my knuckles look slightly bigger. The dr told me I can be back at boxing again in 4 month after full recovery.
1. I don't know what things will look like in the future. As a general statement, they'll never be the same (depending on what damage was done...) 2. Pinkie on both hands, ouch. 3. Hand(s) can be mishapen after being in cast if things were pushed into a weird shape. Maybe probably go back to normal but you may have to do some work to open up the shrunken (tightened up sheets of connective tissue) so it -can- go back to it's original shape. Time will tell a bit on that one. 4. Were you wearing the big boxing gloves?
@TendonitisExpert how are you doing sir? Thank you for your reply, I didn’t reply back to you because I don’t have notifications to let me know. So it’s been a month since I told you, my knuckles now look good as new or better, however the 5th knuckles on both hands (where I had my metacarpal fractures) still not showing like the rest of the other knuckles next to them. The left one looks much better and is starting to appear, not so much with the right hand because I had a bigger fracture there, it’s showing better than a month ago, when I make a fist, it’s still a little swollen, and the knuckle bone is not showing completely. I’ll just have to wait and see. My concern now is for my 5th pinky knuckles to show when I make a fist. And no I was not wearing those big boxing gloves when I was punching my opponent all over the place. I’m not a professional boxer yet. I just started. That’s the main reason how I broke both of my 5th metacarpals in both hands.
I accidentally punched a table and I heard my knuckle crack. Is that bad? (it's also starting to hurt)
If it fractured, that's bad. If you dislocated the knuckle, that's probably bad, depending. If something else like a rip or tear happened, that's bad. Depending on how bad it ends up hurting, that could be bad, or not bad but painful, depending. If it just hurts with no actual injury, that's not so bad aside from that it obviously hurts.
Well I had weird shaped knuckles and now they're kinda normal now lol
Tell me more. (And what age range and time period
are we talking between 'weird shaped from wall punching' to 'kinda normal now'?)
I punched a wall when I found out my partner cheated on me for 11 months. It’s been a week now and my hand/knuckles still hurt. It’s still bruised. I can’t fist it anymore cuz this isn’t the first time I punched a wall. I guess I damaged my hand pretty badly this time
How are you doing now?
I just punched the wall today and I'm struggling to sleep because it fucking hurts my right hand significantly looks more swollen than my left I can still move some fingers and somewhat bend them but only to an extent until it hurts more... I don't know what my case is.. at this point I just feel ending it all. 💀
Oh dude. Thts oky.. I wuld hav burnd the house. You alryt. Evrythng alryt
You'll be fine in two months.
Hello! Thanks for the video, just had a quick question: I didnt punch a wall, I punched a very hard Heavy Bag without my gloves / wraps and I connected with poor form, now I have sharp pain anytime my 5th metacarpal is moved(pain might be between 5th and 4th metacarpal), however I can basically move all my fingers normally, even making a fist doesnt hurt anymore. Its been close to 6 weeks with some improvement, but my question is, is there a chance I tore something without knowing? Or would that be very obvious? Only loss of motion I have is when I make a fist, I have a very hard time extending my ring finger, though the finger moves normally otherwise. There is also pain inbetween my 4th and 5th metacarpal if I put too much pressure on my thumb.
There was no bruising, and if there was swelling, it was a very small amount. Also, it looks like the knuckle of the ring finger MIGHT be slightly sunken, like its just barely smaller than the one on my right. Would appreciate some advice 😅
1. So you dont have any reduced ability to make a fist, but it hurts when you do? True/False
2. It hurts when you move it how much? A lot/A little When you move it how?
3. How sharp a pain, how intense, how long does it last?
@@TendonitisExpert
1. False. No reduced ability. No pain when making a fist. Slight pain when squeezing my fist, this pain used to be much worst.
2. Pain is very sharp, only when I move it and my ring finger together. By that I mean, when my pinky and ring finger are pressed together, and I try to bend/extend my pinky, I get severe pain along my 5th metacarpal starting at the knuckle. When my fingers are spread out, I can bend my pinky with no pain. It also hurts in the same area when I pull up my pants with my thumb.
3. The pain is quite sharp, only when I move it in the ways described, or if something presses on the knuckle. It goes away instantly. The pain is sharp, but also feels tight, if that makes sense.
The worst pain is when I try to keep my pinky and ring fingers aligned, and bend them. Sharp pain. No pain at rest
1. Ok good to know. 2. and 3. More details make a more clear picture, thanks.
Ok so your probable scenario is this: You have a small tiny tear in there somewhere. You can have those pains without one, but either way, you have the pain you have. If you do have a small tiny tear there's really nothing to do about it, medically. Maybe a surgeon would say something else, but in general the structures are so small and the tear so small...there's nothing surgery can do do help...things are so small can't reconnect them, surgery would do more damage than is already there, etc.
You could get an MRI or equivalent and see what a doctor says, etc....but unless you're a pro boxer or something...it's unlikely to be worth the effort and the likelihood is that it would be a lot of effort/cost just to hear that there's nothing they can do but put you in a splint and hope the pain goes away, etc.
That's just kind of the reality of it....it's not so bad a doctor is even going to bother investigating because unless your knuckle is half ripped off there's really nothing they (or anybody) can do for it . That is an exaggeration of course but you get the point.
So.
1. Ice dip as described on here/my site in various places. This decreases pain and increases circulation etc. Increase healing times to whatever degree. (May or may not not even be anything to heal, depending on what exactly tore or if anything tore).
2. Keep things moving. Don't splint the hand. DOn't overdo it, but keep fingers/fist moving. THis is very good in a variety of ways.
3. Shadow box. Speed bags maybe depending. Heavy bag with other hand.
4. Give it a month, then check back in and let me know how things are. (Even if ice dipping reduces pain and/or your pain goes away fast, don't hit with that hand for a month. Just because you don't feel pain doesn't mean your hand is ready/able to withstand impact again.)
@@TendonitisExpert Thanks for the answer doc. Have to say was really hoping it wasnt a tear, I honestly thought I just fractured it. Im not a pro boxer or anything, but I do like to box to work out and for self defense training. Is there a chance I will ever be able to hit with my left hand again? I can deal with the pain, id just like to be able to use my left hand like I did before. What do you think tore, ligament, tendon, or is it impossible to tell?
In 1 month should I just contact you here in the comments, or is there some better way? Also, I notice that sometimes it can be worst when I wake up, should I wrap it or anything when I sleep?
Yes high likelihood can hit again etc. When you start back into it, start real light and over a couple weeks build up slowly. If there's an edge (as in, push the edge), creep up on it don't blast past it and suddenly have a bunch of pain again.
You may not have an actual tear. Could have just overstretched some supportive connective tissue, that would hurt bad. Or that sheet could have a full or partial tear. Lots of little stuff in there, hard to tell. PROBABLY not a big future problem, just from what you've described. Having said that let whatever there is heal before going back at it, for a lot of reasons.
Might not even have any overstretch etc. Coulda just done whatever and it hurts with no actual damage. Verly likely there's at least microtears. Point being, it's PROBABLY not a big future problem.
It's way less likely that you have a fracture. Certainly possible, but in general from how you described the hit, symptoms would be way worse if you'd hit it wrong enough to fracture bone.. Again, no downsides to getting it visualized with xray and/or mri other than $ cost. Same advice if there's a fracture. Let it heal.
ALmost certainly not tendon, possibly small small ligament or any of various bits of connective tissue throughout the area.
Comments here is good/fine, can use the contact form on the site too if you want.
hey man, really hope you reply to this, so I basically punched a fridge out of anger but its been about 2 weeks since it happened there is not pain and slightly swollen. It feels like its scraping but causes no pain at all. wondering what you think.
You mean...when you move one or more fingers if feels like there's scraping inside the joint?
Yea
Well, you may have interior joint lining damage from the impact. Or, the interior joint lining is inflammed/swollen, and thus the tissue is grinding on itself (more likely than actual damage.....but can cause damage and/or ongoing irritation and swelling.) (Might be more of a 'squeaking' than a 'scraping'....but probably not a lot of difference between the two.
Primary goal is to decrease inflammation as much as possible as fast as possible.
This has happened too many times in my life and I have finally paid the price especially someone who had a nice right hand its been a year or two since I injured my middle knuckle and I fear it's a wrap at age 22
Riley Keogan don’t worry I ruined my knuckle at age 16 and I’m still 16 😢

@@tommy.vercetti2003 i am fine but my knuckle has bumped up will it get small back to normal???
Rip my knuckles and my broken wall
Why did my knuckles grow tho? Like a layer of bone formed around them and their bigger and harder but still hurt a little bit
The body shapes itself to the forces placed upon it. You smashed bone/joint. The body tries to make the body stronger to withstand that in the future. New bone etc tissue is formed. Not 'stronger', just 'more'.

Same bro
Same... is ur knuckles smaller than the other
I tried to swing to the left with my right fist and it was clenched up and only the 2 mains knuckles were bruised and it seems to be greyish
Sir I guess I broke my ring finger's knuckle, when I punched a guy after some minutes I saw that I wasn't able to lift my ring finger, it was swollen from the front and back (ring finger) then I went to a doctor and when he saw the X Ray he said there is a minimal crack/fracture there and he covered my hand with a plaster (hard bandage) and then he said come back after 15 days will see it again now please tell me will I be able to get it back? As I used to have it before :'( ?
I don't know. Probably if the only damage done was a small fracture.
Simple take the pain
What about someones face?
WHat about someone's face? Shouldn't be hitting that against a wall either....bad things happen.

I punched a dude with glasses and now my pinky and wrist hurts and has for about six hours is that damedge?
Six hours? Dunno. I'm replying 5 days later...how is it now?
Can i fight again doc ..i got some serious problems in my life ..and i need to box it out ..m right handed and damaged my ring finger of right hand ..somehow the pain subsides after a long gap but deformities remains ..the problem is that whenever i fight back and box with my right rand ..a slight contact immediately returns the pain and swelling..i have trained my left hand for quite some time ..but i need my right to defend myself..any tips ?
I punched about 2 years ago wall with fist closed and i had pain in my middle knuckel for 1 week. About 5 months ago i had fight and after that my knuckel was in pain again for about 1 week..it is now soft and not sharp as before and hurts litle bit on touch and i cant do push ups on fists, is there any solutions like operation for this or no help?
There's no surgery repair to make it good as new that I know of. Pretty sure then can do some injection/replacement kind of thing to restore shape and look, but once the original structure is damaged weakened the knuckle/cartilage can't be made 'good as new'.
For pain reduction help see the page the video links too and read through the comments and my suggestions throughout there.

I always punch brick walls and my knuckles are gone hard and I never injured myself
i damaged my knuckle out of nowhere and i didn't even punched a wall lol, i was hooping then suddenly it got hurt then the next day i realized its not on its normal shape i wonder what happened tho
I did punch a wall like 4 months ago however my knuckle only hurts when I apply pressure to the specific area and I have no problem moving the finger whatsoever I went to the doctors and he said I was lying but my knuckle hurts whenever I apply pressure to it or punch something lightly? Any tips
Get a new doctor. Not that a better doctor is going to be able to do anything about it, but calling you a liar is an immmediate 'you're fired'.
You have a bone/joint bruise. Long and slow to go away. You can speed it up some amount with icing.
I am probably really dumb for doing this but I live in a college dorm and I play a lot of NBA 2k. Basically, almost every time I played it I would end up getting extremely mad after an hour or two and I sat close to the wall so I would punch it. The first time I did this it hurt pretty bad as you can imagine but the game made me so mad I couldn't help it. Since then I have probably punched the wall 40-50times (I get really mad) and my knuckles have definitely taken a new shape. Note the wall is block so I'm doing no damage to it and it's doing all of the damage to me. The most I have punched the wall in succession is about 6 times with each hand. After doing that many punches I was barely able to open my hands for the next two days and they were extremely swollen and purple. The tenderness took about 2 months to go away and I have since quit playing the game for obvious reasons but my knuckles instead of becoming mangled and deformed looking are actually, for the most part, regular but I'd definitely say that they have doubled or tripled in size. The last time I remember punching the wall I was able to hit it 3 times rapidly at about 80% whilst causing little pain to my right hand at least. The reason I am typing this is that one of the last times I punched the wall a sharp pain shot through my middle left knuckle. It has been about 2 months since I have had this happen and now I am unable to punch anything at about 20%+ with that knuckle without causing immense pain(the pain is kinda similar to hitting your funny bone but hurts much more). I want to know if I could have caused irreversible damage and I will have to live with this sensitive knuckle for the rest of my life or if it's just something that takes a really long time to heal. My right knuckle is crazy strong and hard now though which is kinda cool and I can pretty much punch anything I want with little pain as I am pretty sure I desensitized it significantly and I feel no restrictions or weakness when I open and close my hands and my sensitive knuckle is really my only con. Sorry for writing a whole book but any input would be helpful.
Desinsitization (local nerve damage, techinically), yes. Yes absolutely you could have caused irreversible damage. Hopefully nerve is just being compressed from inflammation swelling and that will subside when the swelling does. YOu could have broken/fractured bone. Repeated wall punching can make bone bigger and stronger...but then it causes crumbling (basically)
That's awesome you have full ability to open/close hands, that's a huge plus with such an increase in size.
Punching soft inanimate objects you put against a brick wall is not dumb and a great way to channel bursts of anger as described (with little to no self punishment/damage). From this point forward, however punching a brick wall is officially dumb.
i punched someone in the face my left index knuckle is broken its split in half and caved in F for my irrelevent knuckle
I think I did the same thing my knuckle hurts on my right hand
I'm pretty sure the person you punched experienced more pain
I did punch the Wall several times this week, but it only ever hurt my knuckle when I leaned part of my hand on a table edge.
Hi, do you think that long term conditioning like knuckles push ups and punching a heavy bag (from time to time, not full power) can cripple your hand ?
As a general statement, no.
Knuckle pushups should be fine. That's worse on skin than anything else.
Occasional non-full-impact bagwork shouldnt cause any problems, presuming one doesn't punch wrong and actually injure one's fist, which is more a function of user error than heavy bags being dangerous.
@@TendonitisExpert Thanks 👍
I have a boxers fracture
All the doctors said “the wall always win”
Well they're certainly right about that.....
I mean i did punch my brother in the face and his skull gave me a broken pinky, i guess he is hard headed
Every human skull is hard especially the forehead(frontalbone) punching should be done with the first two knuckles wich have to both connect on impact targeting any area under the cheeck bones should be fine
That is proper technique, yes. And, it's all great until you damage the fist/knuckle tissue that is less hard/dense than bone, etc.
I played bloody knuckles way to many times and now it hurts to move and push in the area between my middle finger and ring finger
I was about to punch a wall but I wanted to see if it was a bad idea or a *very* bad idea
Super smart move, stopping to think about it for a moment. It's a very bad idea.
My knuckles became flat because of the wall 😭😭😭
I can easily punch a wall
It's your hand, your knuckle structures. Go for it! :)
Well sure you can still fight with it...though it may hurt a lot (depending on the current state of your knuckles). You won't lose punch impact per se, though the more the knuckles hurt, the less your brain will be willing to punch and the less often you will consciously want to be punching.
Knuckle structures are soft cartilage. It sounds like you destroyed the structural integrity of that cartilage, so now it's 'soft'. This isn't the best analogy, but kind of like plastic bubble wrap. It has a certain 'stiff' structureal integrity, and then you pop all the bubbles and then you have a bunch of loose material. The smashed knuckle is a lot like that..it's 'soft' because the tiny structural bubbles were popped and now it's 'loose'.
Unfortunately, that's permanent. Meaning, it's not going to heal back to it's original shape/structure/density. There's a small possibility of that as you're young etc, but in general...I wouldn't be holding your breath for it's return.
You'd have to talk to a surgeon about possibilities there. My guess is that there's nothign a surgeon can (or will) do for you...maybe that ligament can be repaired/reconnected, but there's nothing they can do (that I know of) that can restore that knuckle to a 'I can punch as hard as I want' state.
I'd love to be wrong about that, and if there's a good way I'm happy to learn about it.
" I really want to get into boxing " You definitely can. BUT, you have to be smart. No macho bullshit. You learn and practice the skills. You practice the coordination, the speed, the explosiveness, etc, you DO NOT practice hitting the heavy bag as hard as you can with just wraps on (though you probably can with the big gloves on).
If you're going to be competitive you're going to have big gloves on in the ring. If you're doing MMA, I wouldn't train on a heavy bag (speed and coordination yes, power no) with the mma gloves, big gloves only (because you're going for longevity).
You don't punch a wall ever again. Bare knuckle fighing would be a bad idea (for all the reasons it is) because if you hit that bad knuckle just right on a skull or a cheekbone or a tooth...you're going to be very unhappy about that.
Do what you gotta do on the streets, of course (by which I mean, don't get into a fist fight), but as a general rule hard object impacts on that knuckle are going to result in exponentially worse outcomes. YOu did say you've hit walls since then, so maybe you didn't hit that knuckle, or you did and you survived it pretty well, but in general...avoid that at all costs.
" I've also been having this sensation to want to pull my finger to crack the bone an kinda pop it back into place releasing that fluid that's inside the knuckle" That's happening for one ore more of a few reasons, including internal inflammation/swelling, and definitely due to forearm muscle that turn into tendon and attach to the finger being too tight and thus compressing the finger joints, so that unhappy joint is constantly getting compressed a little bit more than it's happy with.
"but my knuckle has been making progress every since that day it almost feels normal " Well that's a good thing. Maybe there is hope. In which case, I'd definitely read the thread/page the link under this video points to, and, for instance, ice dip like a crazy man for a week and tell me what happens.
" I will still do my best to conditioning it " If by that you mean 'toughen up the knuckle by hitting it against objects'....that's a bad idea. Increase your protein/collagen intake, yes. Smash the knuckle against a wall with mild to moderate force...personally I wouldn't.
Last week I punched my parents’ bathroom mirror/cabinet at full force after coming back from a staff party drunk when my bf was giving me grief. It’s still healing and just got my bandage off today, but when I accidentally straighten my hand out while holding my phone my middle finger clicks and hurts a lot. Hope it’ll heal fine coz I’m only 16.
I punched a wall and screwed my whole hand up and the nurses called it a "idiot fracture" and its now been 3 months since with great recovery I had a cast and splint for long time and did no sport yet whenever I punch pads or workout my hand is still sore, although my hand is a little deformed as in the bones are obviously in different spots its fully healed and I'm just wondering if this pain will ever go away, thanks :D
Idiot fracture. Lol, that's my new favorite name for something!
3 months isn't that long after an injury like yours, you're lookking at minimally 6-12 months, presuming you can heal to a pain free state, which you -probably- can. Fractures heal, the tenderness takes a long time to go away for various reasons. Depending on the deformities and whether your joint function and/or interior surfaces are affected, a pain free state is or isn't attainable.
@@TendonitisExpert alright thanks for the response :)
I did about ago it's still got the same shape but it always hurts when applying tight pressure to it
Is it gonna be like that FOREVER???
Punched a hard countertop & it feels like my knuckle is split into 2. Sometimes I get a burning stinging sensation & I have to push the broken piece back over & hold it in place for the pain to stop.
I punched a door and suffered a 5th metacarpal fracture 14 months ago, I went to hospital and got X-rays and had it properly seen to, it seemed to heal for a while but then I developed severe wrist pain and clicking and I can feel the force of the clicking reverberate up in my fifth metacarpal where I sustained the injury, I fear it is linked and the pain has been getting worse for a number of months now, do you have any idea what may be going on? And what should I do from here to attempt to get it fixed if that’s even possible? I’ve never regretted an action so much in my life and I’m ashamed to contact the doctors out of embarrassment and fear of judgement
Impact caused fracture...AND bone/joint bruising of hand and possibly wirst, and pain kicked in tendonitis dynamic of progressive tightness, inflammation process, and nutritional lack.
Possible damage elsewhere in the hand from the impact...but likely it's just the predictable changes to the ecology of the area that result. Basically, tightness (compresses joints thus the clicking) and pain.
I punch walls everyday , I have increased the force slowly and my knux kept getting conditioned I guess , now punching walls doesnt hurt . Is it still bad or is it only bad when you punched a wall too hard without conditioning
Walls are harder than your body is. It might be ok now, but it only goes one direction....badly. Sooner or later.
Maybe you can get away with minimal downsides if you do it 'carefully' and condition slowly and never hit anything too hard, but chances are, you think you're conditioned, so you're going to hit hard things harder than you should and then....
How to heal it if possible? Like using ice pack or something like that?
I punch a steel, and the top of my knucles and my palm grow suddenly a lump, idk what to do pls help.
I’ve punched a lot of walls growing up, I’ve sprained my knuckles and wrist when I was 14 and being 18 now I punched a hard bumpy side of a house and cut my right ring finger knuckles and then punched a cement wall. It was pretty swollen for a month but now I’m having problems opening my hand and closing it into a fist. The pain will shoot into finger/knuckle, wrist, and elbow. I have no idea what is causing the pain
Read the comments in this video, and go to the linked page and read there. Lots of description as to what is causing the pain.
A friend of mine punched a iron school locker and all his knuckles are broken, his knuckles are literarily gone
I've been punching walls since I was a kid. The first time I did it my knuckles were wounded but now no matter how hard I hit I don't get bloody knuckles. Is that a problem?
Skin is just superficial, it's rarely a problem (other that rip/tear/cut/bruise/etc).
If there's no pain, you've (probably) killed the nerves, so no sensation of pain etc.. No bloody knuckles....skin has presumably toughened up, and/or you hit dead on (versus with some shear which causes cut/tear).
Went for x ray no fractures however my middle knuckle still feels tight and slight pain when clinching fist any ideas ?
There's more tissue there than just bone. And can be all sorts of short term and/or long term problem wthout a bone fracture.
I have no option to go to the hospital but I’m an artist and can’t leave it untreated cuz apparently that’s bad and I need my fingers, can I fix it myself?
Dunno. How bad did you mess it up?
I punched a tile wall today with about 75% of my full strength and my middle knuckle is pretty swollen, I don’t think it’s fractured and I can clench my fist with a little pain. Hurts a little when I massage it but that could just be the pressure I’m putting on the swelling. I’ve been putting ice on it until a few hours ago any thoughts?
Lots of thoughts. See comments in this thread, and the page the video description links to.
Doesn't sound so bad just from what you've described, comparatively. I'd go with ice dip over ice packs.
Use palm heel strikes instead of punching with a fist👇
czcams.com/video/AT4KKDastjI/video.html
Protect your wrist while striking👇
czcams.com/video/0Cm5-fC32eg/video.html
I think karate chops and hammer fists are also safe open hand strikes.
Kicks?
I have a Sagittal band rupture for a year and it still hurts till this day I have no idea what to do
Depending on what it look like in there, it's possible surgery can reattach (less likely a year later, but maybe). Otherwise, there's nothing to do except get the inflammation out (ice dipping) and hope it stays out. PResumably things have healed as much as they're going to by now...perhaps movement of the tendon etc is constantly irritating/aggravating things in there.
i punched a wall 3 years ago, one of knuckle sank and i think i broke the bone on top of it, but i just left it as is. Now the area where that knuckle is located have sum bump, and i cant straighten the finger and it hurts when its cold
But the soft cartilage within your fists is a hold back it prevents you from making your fist stronger right???
That implies like 'a stronger fist' that can, for instance, happily punch a steel/concrete object, is an attainable thing.
I guess technically the answer is 'yes, the soft cartilage is damagable so you can't make the fist itself stronger'. But, if the cartilage isn't there, it's not like your fist would be able to get stronger/able to happily punch walls with no downsides....
I mean, I don't plan to punch many more walls so if my hand is a bit mishaped then whatever
Guys, it could me a boxers knuckle or a saguaro band tear. It can be fixed with surgery and the recovery time will take about 5-6 months for full contact function. Just don’t punch walls. Palm the shit out of your wall instead. Or you can condition your knuckles so next time it won’t do so much damage.
i have 3 messed up from a bike wreck. it stills hurts. it happened 4 or 5 years ago. what do i do?
its been 5 months and it still hurts. I cant open my hand all the way and my grip is weak. feels like a bruise
I punched a wall years ago, I cut my knuckles ever since then my middle knuckle has been discoloured and turns purple when I’m cold, is this some kind of permanent tissue damage, I also have slightly thicker skin on that knuckle and it gets dry and cracked at times.
May or may not be permanent, but sounds like you damaged the circulatory system/the body's ability to get blood/fluid in/out of there.
So should I go get my hand checked? 🤔 I punched a wall a week ago. The swelling has gone down and I can move my pinky, just can't move it all the way up like before 😔
If you are that concerned about it, then getting it checked is probably a wise thing to do.
And, punching walls results in what you describe...there's not much a doctor/hospital is going to do for you (or can do for you) other than tell you to immobilize the hand/rest/anti-inflammatory/ice pack/etc, whether there's a fracture or other damage.
anyone have any advise for me, i punched a steel pole like 6 months ago and i didnt do a straight punch i did a side ways fist, the knuckle isnt mishaped or anything i dont have any pain or lack of range of motion what happens is when i press on the side of the knuckle is hurts like not overall but just in that area i wonder if its the bone thats busted but i dont get it why when i press on it hard enough the pain goes away and it doesnt hurt until the next day, the pain is not constant its just when i push on the knuckle the pain is sharp but not insane pain PLEASE i need help figuring out what to do, it really stresses me that ill never live pain free with this
well when i punch the wall over and over again i cant feel anything i mean the hardest i can
The good news is you don't feel pain now. The bad news is, it's probably because you've damaged/destroyed the nerves in your skin over that area. Maybe you have super high pain tolerance levels, dunno. But if you keep at it, you'll have joint problems in the future, which you definitely will feel.
@@TendonitisExpert thanks for the information :D i just kinda punch the wall really hard when i get really mad
No problem...just switch to hitting couches, mattresses, etc. (But don't let the soft impact twist your wrist when you do...)
