Punched A Wall, Knuckle Pain And Non-Reversible Damage

On this page there are A LOT of questions from people who have punched a wall and hurt their fists and knuckles. Some broke bones.

The questions are from wall punchers who hurt themselves very recently and are worried about their hand pain and what it means, to those who punched a wall and hurt themselves years ago and are wondering why they still hurt and have troubles making a fist and what they can do about it.

Rule #1 of Punching Walls And Other Hard Objects: Don't Do It

Rule #2: When you hurt your hand punching a wall/door/car/tree/etc, you better do your best to help your body recover as much and as fast as possible.

20 years ago, when I was a teenager, I punched the wall 10-15 times in anger. In cold weather, my knuckles still hurt and I can't open my hand fully.

"Don't do that ? "

“Don’t do that”

I wish I had that smart advice like an hour ago. I have this weird looking hole in my middle knuckle and it’s squeaking now. Help.

Have been punching walls since I was a kid. Had a notion that slowly my fists would be stronger than normal after repeated injury+healing.
A few days back the rightmost knucle on the right fist got injured a bit and healed later slightly abnornally and its larger in comparison to my left hand's knucle.

Hence watching this video😂😂.
Hope theres a way for it to be aligned straight again by knucle pushups lol

Lol i punched one of those big ass metal garbage bins and broke a knuckle but it healed and its completly fine now and looks the same? It was creaking at the time

Anger issues are a curse i swear. Punched the wall twice. Three weeks ago. Now the second knuckle on my right hand is noticably bigger than the rest. No fracture. But i now have the hand of an ogre. Great!

The man is right but you know life happens and you learn

Punched a wall maybe five years ago. The pain was pretty bad at first, but didn’t think I needed to go to the doctor. These days, it will go for months without hurting, and then randomly feel tight and tingly for a few days, and then feel fine again for months. It’s been this process since I punched the wall.

I was so angry when I punch the wall that didn’t even hurt the next day my knuckles were purple and it hurt like a bitch ever time y touch it

[ravensimonyay]

update!

my ring knuckle is (obviously) still sunk, but now it’s starting to bother me especially since i play hockey once a week. my right hand is a lot weaker and gets tired/sore easily when holding my phone, playing video games etc.

i’m going to talk to a hand specialist to see what they can do, since my doctor was persistent that my hand looked normal in the x-rays. although i would love to get my hand back to its normal form, i know the only actual way to do that is surgery. hoping i don’t need surgery or injections or anything to get relief.

I got involved with other peoples argument at a family event and got hot-headed. walked away after telling them off and like a complete idiot I punched a door. Now 2 knuckles down and a usable but still weak grip a week after the cast came off after having the hand in the cast for 4 weeks. Good life lesson though, 1 second of anger can really mess up things quick.

[aka.Ash]

Got angry...hit a wall...2 hr later started hurting so much that i am here

[K-lt]

I punch someone in the face and had a hairline fracture on my index knuckle. I had a cast for a week and now a bandage with tape and I have GCSEs in a month. WINNING
