Suggest Treatment To Heal Pain In Hand

Hi,

I broke my hand in November, (2nd metacarpal, index finger). Im a Pro boxer so I need my hands 100% for my income.

I got it in a cast for 4 weeks and they removed it and said my hand would heal up fine.

My bone is not straight and the muscles around the break are really sore. I started back training in Feburary. Hand was doing fine, I was hitting bags with 16oz sparring gloves and feeling no pain. Then i used 10oz fighting gloves and landing a punch at the same angle I broke my hand. My hand instantly hurt and swoll up. I iced it and have had to pull out from my next fight, costing me over £1000.

What should I do? I need my hand for my job.



Thanks



Joe
