From my experience i would say i'm getting more familliar with pain and just registering it less rather than actually having any gains. I think i will be stopping it from now on . Maybe i shouldn't have continued after i started feeling pain ? Will see if the pain stop or will go to the doctors. Anyway thoughts ?

EDIT : Gentleman/woman i am pleased to announce the pain has completely ceased to exist and seems like i hadn't suffered any damage and gotta say thanks for your concern lemmy .

Also what about the chinese guys beating up wood if there is no gain why are they doing that ?

Go to the ER if you think it's broken. These are some signs:

Pain directly on top of the bone (where there is no soft tissue)

Severe swelling or bruising on the top of the bone

Loss of sensation, numbness, tingling

A "cracking" sound at the time of the injury

The area looks lopsided or deformed

Can't use your hand, can't move it, can't close your fist, can't pick things up. Bad signs.

Edit: Oh, I read that wrong. I thought you wanted advice on your hand lol. I'll just leave this up bc it's useful.
