When Catwoman Strikes!
 

I have a really large bump on the top of my hand which resulted from a blow from a stick. It is the size of a silver dollar in diameter and the height of a dime on its side. I have an ice pack on it, but should I be doing anything else?

You need mumbleypeg.

He has some products for just such a situation.

:p

Sounds like a ruptured blood vessel. From a non-doctor, cold today to stop the bleeding and heat tomorrow to reabsorb the fluid.

Thanks. Will drinking alcohol slow the healing process? I was about to start when this happened. Plus it hurts and that might help. :)

Not unless you're into banging things when you drink.:D

I'm familiar with the sequence. When in HS I sprained an ankle during a basketball game and some idjit immediately put heat on it. In no time my ankle was bigger than my knee.:eek:

Agreed...

Long as you can still wiggle and woggle all your digits. Not saying that they won't be sore...but make certain you can wiggle each joint by isolating it and flexing/extending at that joint.

Sifu had stuff..."Dit Da Jao" stank like reduced pig urine and burned when applied...but man it worked for exactly what you are describing.

Perhaps you should pick nicer friends, strike first or raise your fees so that you can afford a decent pair of hockey gloves:D

LOL -- was not playing hockey.

Thanks Eagle! Still a bump this am, but much smaller. Can move all fingers OK, just sore.

He got beat on by a gurl!

Check the thread title!

LOL -- shot by the god gun again . . . :p

Spousal abuse, such an ugly thing.

Having met the both of you, the court is never going to believe your version of events.

I recommend that you settle out of court.

As far as I can tell, it has been settled. Note who is posting asking for medical advice...

:D:D:D
