boxers fracture

[getttinbigg]

hey guys recently hurt my hand again im sure everyones been through this minor injury. just hopeing on some new opinions on workouts yall have done with this injury.:rolleyes:

[PAiN]

How recent was the injury? Do you have a cast on it?

[builtstrong]

I recently just recovered from one. It took about 15 weeks total. Keep
It simple ice it up, therapy by squeezing a tennis ball. Everyday. As far
As working out, go ahead and let it heal. Work legs/abs. Now is a good excuse
To get ya cardio where it needs to be if its lacking. Honestly there is really
No sense in putting more stress on that hand than u need to. I made
That mistake and ended up reinjuring myself. I know pro players that just get
A wrist brace and wrap it tight as can be after iceing, then they go at it. Maybe a
Little extreme but it works if its that serious.

I have broke my hand and wrist in the exact same place 3 times. Let it heal and hit ur cardio...

[Enigmatic707]

Delt with this many many times... Try taping it in an "x pattern" over the break.. You tube it and you'll find what I'm talking about.

I agree with the above let it heal completely and focus on something else right now like cardio or legs.

I broke 3,4 and 5 at the knuckle and also at the cmc joints... I was out for 9 weeks with a cast then had to rehab for awhile.. that was the first time. The second and third time I dont believe it was considered a boxers fracture. I broke the 3,4 and 5 in the middle of my hand and also at cmc joints again.

That's the most sound advice I have heard anyone give concerning rehabing an injury
