Hand Injury

[nyrslr21 0]

I've got a knuckle injury on the middle finger from a fall in a public session 2 weeks ago, it's still somewhat swollen but doesn't bother me much until I put my hand in a glove. It's on my top hand and it bothers me to stick handle, anyone got any ideas on a sort of padding I can rig up to minimize some of the discomfort? I was thinking of just balling up some gauze and taping it to my knuckle.

Hands and feet....Tons of little bomnes in there. The best advice will always be to see a Dr.

I didn't a couple years ago...'cause I figured it was just sprained...now I have a permanently bent second knuckle on my left middle finger.

Get it looked at.

I have the fortune of working in a hospital's radiology department, so I've had an x-ray and it's not broken, just a bad bone bruise. I have a metal splint thing that runs along the underside of my hand, but making a fist isn't a problem for me. The pressure of the glove sitting on the bruise is my biggest problem. I haven't found anything around the ER that looks good to put on the top of my hand so I'm looking for some ideas.

I had some sort of problem with the bottom of my knuckle a few months ago. I just tape some foam in the area and it worked alright. Cut down on pain from gripping my stick quite substantially.

How about a "donut" around the knuckle? that way you bad around the area but not touching it directly. Simular to what you would do with blister?

Just an Idea, good luck.

That donut thing seems like a good idea, I'll have to try that out, and just some foam alone, see what works.

Suck it up. Rub some dirt on it.

But dirt is icky and could get under my nails.

True. I got slashed on the knuckles a few games ago. I cried a bit.

soak your hand in epsom salt and hot water helps when i get bruises

Drink more beer after the game. Or before.

Hey, you've got to be careful. If you get hurt, who's going to make my boy Straka new skates? It's almost the playoffs, this is serious business.

I just shipped him a new pair yesterday. I can get injured now. Avery's aren't done yet, though. Betts still hasn't gotten his yet either. I better take it easy.

Well Betts is out for three weeks, and Avery's skates can get lost in the gutter for all I care, so you can go ahead and get hurt I guess.

Love you too.

Hand injuries make me cranky...that and cutting a shaft and having to pull splinters of texalium out of my fingers.

This isn't bad foreplay.

I'd kiss it better if I lived in NY. Ice it. One Advil every day. I used to chew on Vioxx but they banned it. Some old person died.
