    you may have broken a bone in your hand, or strained a ligament at the least, you should go see a doc to get your hand x-rayed:thumbsup

    i did x-rayed my hands but everything is normal. The only thing that is close to my mind is that it needs time for the wrists to get used the damage from the bag.

    Had bigtime knuckle and wrist problems when I started boxing.....Keep your hands wrapped well (tightly around the wrist, less tight but wrapped well around your knuckles and hand), use gloves with a good padding, and maintain good punching technique. These issues will eventually go away.

    make sure your knuckles are straight when you punch, that your wrapping is good, and that your wrist is straight.

    I've had wrist injuries from high school that started acting up again but i just wrapped my hand over the ace bandage i was wearing as well. Felt pretty tight but i found way to wrap things comfortably and still work out. It's something you have to get used to, your hands will toughen up if you keep at it for long enough without actually hurting anything.

    I've had the same issues when I started as well (both knuckle and later wrist). Are you wrapping your hands correctly or even wearing wraps? How heavy are the gloves that you are wearing?

    Same here. It sorted it self out on it's own I guess as the muscles in my wrist got stronger or something.

    Had the same problem when I started even though I'm still quite new. Then I attempted to wrap my hands differently by looking at youtube videos, wrists or nuckles dont hurt or get bruised anymore

    today with the 12oz gloves it was less pain in the wrist.I also started to bang the lighter bag because the one i use to bang was 60-70 kg.

    Do you use wristwrap gloves? I always try to cinch them down as snugly as I can without constricting blood flow because of my wrists.

    you are probably hitting the bag throwing wild haymakers with no technique what so ever,first off dont hit the bag until you learn the basics,stand in front of a mirror and get your hands in a right position and start to throw slow punches at first,jab jab throw a right and try different combinations after a couple of weeks you should be ready to hit the bag,before hitting the bag make sure your hands are wrapped properly with a good set of hand wraps,then put on a good pair of gloves either the smaller ones or the bigger ones,make sure they fit properly,then you may precede with hitting the bag using the same combos you worked on while shadow boxing in font of the mirror,:think
