i cant hit the pads 100% but i have a fight tomorrow, the kid is one the best about in the country and i wonder shold i risk it? its my middle knuckle dat hurts and i can feel a clicking on it or as if its grinding against something inside my hand,, ne ideas what it could be???
ouch, thats a *****. If you cant hit the pads 100% how will you be able to hit your opponent 100%? Id have it looked at by a doc. I doubt you wanna loose and think you could have won if you had better hands or worse, injure your hands even more.
whyd you wait one day before your fight to ask a board if you should go see a doctor? I had that SAME feeling when I punched a wall a few years back and my knuckle would grind when I make a fist. It takes a long ass time to heal unfortunately. I never went to the doctor and my hands rarely hurt anymore. Get some banging ass gloves. What I was told to do was to boil water and do hot compresses on the knuckle 15 min a day. It could be that little gel capsules in your joints that exploded upon an impact and it'll harden like a mofooo or some **** IDK im no doctor.
Hmmm, toughie. It's really up to you. If you feel as though you can fight through the pain then give it a go, or you could even switch stance and just jab and run all night long. If you really do feel as though you can't fight then pull out, it might be best in the long run in case there is some proper damage there.
I've got the same thing in both hands. You really should give it some rest by putting sponges under your handwraps for a few week/months. Whether you can fight through the pain or not is up to you. I find that it takes a lot out of my game when I can't let my hands go...
