Broke My Hand Pretty Bad..

[mrGone]

so i break my hand in 2 places, about a month ago..i wont get into how i did it, thats another story in itself LOL..but i shatterd my middle metacarpal (hand bone) and fractured my ring metacarpal..so they ran two 4-inch long titanium pins up inside the bones, along the bone marrow canal..i get the pins pulled in a few weeks..as of right now, i cant even begin to make a fist..my question is, have any of you guys broken your hand, had hardware put in, and still fought comfortably, without shooting pains everytime you lay into someone??

the most pain i've ever been in, in my life, was when they took the pin out of my hand. they just shoot some local anasthetic in and cut your hand open (which almost made me feint) then they take some pliers and start trying to twist the pin out.. they tried 3 different sized pliers on me. you can feel the tendons being pulled to the side and the bone twisting with the pin. they couldn't get it out (probably because i was benching with it in) so i had to come back and get it taken out under general anasthetic. when i left that day there was blood on the walls in the little room. during my surgery, i asked the nurse if it was as bad as having a baby and she said she didn't know. it felt like i was being tortured. i swear.

LOL oh fuck man i guess i had no clue what i was in for..how is your hand now? do you box or do any type of stand up? how is the range of motion in your fingers, and can you make a perfect fist still??

thanks for the heads up, although im gonna lose some sleep over that little story, goddam its like somethin outta Hostel, LOL..

i box now, i used to lift very heavy but i quit lifting temporarily to get my endurance up to par, i have no pain in my hand, the range of motion is as good as it ever was. yeah it's not every day you get to scare the shit out of someone so i had to take my opportunity.. trust me man it'll be worse than going to the dentist and getting 5 cavities

Best thing to do is practice your kicks and work on the clinch,since you cant box ( thats what i did)
