Is it normal my hand still hurts after 4 weeks ?
I injured my left hand approximately four weeks ago . I first thought the next day that it was bruised . The pinky and area below it , I suppose where the rest of the bone and tissue runs along is very sore . I can't even pick up a cooking pot or pan without feeling the pain due to the weight . It doesn't hurt unless pressure by weight or squeezing etc. is applied . I was wondering what possibilities are here ? hair line fracture , just some bruising ? I am wondering if I should go see the doctor or will they simply say "we can not do anything , you must wait it out months to heal naturally" what do you all think? I was going to attempt back in the gym and even though I really "shouldn't" due to a muscle injury in my nack / trap region .. I want to try anyways but I fear the weight will not only hurt but do more damage . I want some advice regardless of that though :) thank you
