Hey, I punched some unidentified object on the floor (I don't even remember what it was) and now everything just hurts.π€·
I'm starting to worry I might have fractured my fifth metacarpalβyou know, right above the pinky finger where the pain is localizedβbecause the swelling is getting pretty bad...
How am I supposed to tell if the bone is actually broken? I won't be able to make it into an Urgent Care or see a doctor for about a week. Is there any way to stabilize it, immobilize it, or just manage the healing process myself in the meantime? π
