Managed to miss the target tonight at karate training and hit the point of someones elbow, one of my knuckles went either side of it and it hurt quite a bit.

The area between the knuckles is pretty swollen and sore - that said I can still type just fine with the hand, but is there anything I can do to help it heal? we do pad work every lesson and at the moment I cant see me being able to use that hand at all for it.

Ice then Ibuprofen.

BTW I'm not medically qualified.

looks like it must have been relatively minor - overnight the swelling has gone down a lot and its a lot less painful - last night there was no dip between the knuckles!

Sounds like you got away with it smile when I was in Dublin seeing AC/DC, alchohol may have been consumed and may have gotten into a large argument with some Nazi looking Irish bloke, walked off and was pretty angry, so I punched a concrete wall!

It seemed like the right thing to do at the time.

Anyway, same thing as you've described, swollen kncucked and quite sore, went down overnight and gone within a week smile
