I hit a guy on the hip during sparring and my hand went numb. When i removed the gloves the tendons of my middle knuckle was displaced and it slides to the side when i make a fist. It doesn't hurt and the Xrays show nothing but the displacement continues. IM thinking it might be partially torn. I'm giving it three months to heal and RICE. Any of you have experience with this? Boxing is an important hobby of mine but i am hesitant to go to surgery but from all the articles I've read, it seems to be the treatment with most success.
Are you a doctor? If not why are you "giving it three months to heal and RICE"? As usual with injuries, seek medical advice from a professional, not from an Internet forum.
I had the same problem , my knuckle whould be all swollen when i whould punch with it and it hurts but not very much , my coach told me its common injury for a boxer and that i should just take it easy with my hand for some time , that was the time whan i planed to take a break from boxing , i came back into boxing 6 months later and it took me like 4 months untill it was completly normal.But you should MOST DEFINITLY visit a doctor !
