Boxing accident. After sparring I shadow boxed in the corner. While doing this I turned and threw a jab...
...I underestimated the reach of my jab.

Good news is that the wall was wooden and gave a little, and I didn't feel any pain at all for almost half an hour. Thought I was OK. But when I did start to feel it, oh boy!
First and second Metacarpals are fractured, and the Carpals were slightly relocated. Fingers are fine.
Usually hitting something solid with a fist involves the 4th & 5th metacarpals ?? You broke the bones in your hand connecting your thumb and index finger hitting a wall?
The ones connecting the middle and ring fingers were affected. The ring finger metacarpal took the worse of it, while the middle finger wasn't that bad and I hope it heals quickly. Trying to read the doc's notes and might have the numbers confused.
Thankfully it's not in a cast, but is very heavily taped. Feels like a brick, though. Supposed to report back for checkups and local steroid injections. Doc said it could have been a lot worse.
