Yesterday I was boxing against my chair to harden my knuckles but afterwards pic related started to swell on so I put an icebag on it.
Today that joint feels really fucking rusty when I try to move my finger all the way down. It's as if there isn't any fluid in that joint or at least very little.
Is this something serious that I should worry about? Thanks in advance
It will heal then, good job you successfully damaged your bones
Thomas Powell
no real pain, it's just a bit sore with that rusty feeling
Caleb Jenkins
I've been doing that for like a month now and whenever i do it, it I feel less and less pain so it's obviously working
Carter Price
Alright then, you didn't break your mcp, my advice, lay off it for a week, trust me when I say your hand is the one thing you do not want to fuck up t. broke my 5th mcp 5 months ago
Adam Gomez
I'll do that. I wasn't going to do anything until it had gotten better anyways. Thanks for the advice
Cooper Murphy
Have you tried using ligma on the knuckle?
Mason Gutierrez
No but I put on a bit of suckondeez
Zachary Jenkins
Another tip, use tiger balm to soothe If there's no improvement in a week, see a doctor Should have mentioned that
Josiah Brooks
You are going to ruin your hands you retard.
Zachary Thompson
That doesn't harden your knuckles retard, bone doesn't heal more dense. You're just destroying the blood supply in your bones and making them more brittle.

I had the same problem when I would kickbox my desk. My shins would swell and one time I missed and nearly fractured my big toe. Honestly take it one day at a time. Be sure to ice it and take some NSAIds to reduce inflammation. Fight on brother!
Owen Williams
Yes it does you retard , what do you think happens during shin conditioning in kickboxing or when you punch a makiwara in karate
Wyatt Baker
Myths. Learn biology.
Nathaniel Ward
How else would you be able to kick any solid material for that matter with full force without breaking your leg and crying like a bitch afterwards??
Christopher Powell
Why are you trying to make your knuckles harder?
Hunter Williams
So I can punch someone in the face if I must without breaking my hand
Jace Hughes
>Is this something serious that I should worry about? Thanks in advance Yes, you're retarded. Why do you need to "harden your knuckles"? Want to be a tough guy? Fucking look at yourself.
Alexander Bennett
You see I really want to join a martial arts club at some point in the future and training my knuckles is something I can do in advance.
Dylan Torres
Actually it does, done density caries according to what you use. Boxing will strengthen the wrist and forearms. Just don't be a retard and punch a chair, punch a heavy bag with wraps on in between using gloves.
Brody Cox
Learn how to throw a punch then.
Isaiah Scott
Harden knuckles and shines is meme
Julian Barnes
One of the best posts ive Seen lately
Lucas Sanders
Looks like the chair won that bout. Perhaps you should start with something smaller, like foot stools, then work your way up to the big stuff?
Thomas Gray
Because it kills the nerves you retard
James Evans
i used to get that when i was a kid after punching punch bags, it will go away in a few days
Eli Foster
I don't think it's something to worry about. Just listen to your body and take some time off. I wish you fast recovery bro don't let anyone ever destroy your goal of having hard knuckles
Christopher Gutierrez
Thanks brothers you guys are the reason I love this board
Michael Sanchez
Stop interpreting kungfu movies as reality
Samuel Phillips
have you tried applying some sugma on the knuckle?
Kayden Rodriguez
I fucked up one of those joints pretty bad, never saw a doctor, hurt like hell for a month, had trouble getting full rom for a couple more, now it doesn't bug me but I have this old man superpower where I feel weather changes in my bones. 7/10 would reccomend.
Oliver Nelson
The autism is strong in this one
William Reed
how does feeling weather changes work? I've heard that so many times already. What do you feel?
Henry Jenkins
What, do you think the Marvel movies are documentaries? Fucking retard.
from what i understand after a joint gets fucked(arthritis, trauma, fracture etc.) it's a lot more sensitive to stuff like air pressure so when there's a drastic change (e.g. before a storm) it hurts. It's total broscience, no actual study has confirmed it but I can definitely say it happens to me a lot.
Nicholas Gray
what's sugma?
Grayson Collins
SUGMA DICK!
David Russell
fuck you
Julian Parker
>all these retards who don't think hardening your bones is a real thing punching walls and kicking trees creates micro fractures in your bones which harden your bones. look it up you dense motherfuckers
Kevin Sullivan
>bones operate the same as muscles
Hudson Martin
That shit is perfectly normal, don't worry about it. Just don't hit anything for a few days and it will return back to normal. Funny story, my dad hit me in the jaw hard once and the same shit happened to his middle knuckle. He was scared he broke it lmao. Funny shit.
Luke Thomas
Lol it's true. I've been hitting hard shit for years and my knuckles are huge and hard as a rock now. These retards are braindead basedboys OP, as long as you're not going overboard with the hitting you will be fine.
Noah Johnson
Did you win?
Brayden Jones
No big deal. I've had pain in one or two knuckles for months a couple times from punching my wall when I was angry. It goes away automatically but if it is painful when moving your finger you might wanna get it checked out.
Xavier Morales
keep punching the chair user,it will heal by itself dont worry
Except it actually works. Hardening knuckles used to be standard practise in karate Muay Thai fighters would harden their shins by striking hard surfaces for like all the history of Thailand.
The difference is OP is probably a manlet who thinks he'll have to fight people on the street
Jacob Cruz
Life isn’t like one of your gay ass animes. Doesn’t sound like you broke anything but you should take the advice of the other anons and just let it heal. Once you’re 100% and you want to keep hardening your knuckles, use a bucket of sand or start doing towel knuckle pushups—eventually moving up to bare floor.
It just beans your bones are getting stronger, give yourself a day to recover and move up to punching boards with nails going through them
Blake Brooks
ligma balls
Nicholas Hill
if you insist, let me just take out my squat plug
Wyatt Perez
ur probably punching like a woman, my uncle used to practice punching his concrete wall and he learned you have to flatten ur fist if you don't wanna fuck up ur knuckles. disperse the force of impact into ur fingers not knuckles
