Along the outside of your hand (between wrist and pinky) and 5 days later it still really hurts, would u still think bone bruise or something more? It's only slightly bruised with a small bump on the outside?

For me personally, if I have function in my hand and it just hurts as a bruise, then I would just treat with ibuprofen.
If it still felt the same after 2 weeks then I would go get it checked out. AGAIN, this is ME personally. You have to do what you feel is right.

that is a common area to break - i did in 06 - i didn't have it treated because i thought it was just a bad bruise the bone healed horribly - once i went to the dr - i opted to not have the surgury now i wish i had they call it a 'boxer break' because it happens when you punch incorrectly -  gina |

That's my fear. When I hit it (or when the vacuum fell on it) it hurt worse than anything I've done in forever! And it's a bad spot, always bumping it,I did ace wrap it to help...

W/feet when I feel a lump that usually means a fracture. I'd get it checked just to be sure.

The statement of it hurting worse than anything says to me, have it checked! I have brittle bones though. Not having it checked for several weeks could lead to it healing badly which can lead to a lifetime of pain. Been there, done that. Getting it checked is totally worth the time and expense to me now. |

Yeah, I'd have it checked at this point. Hands are finicky and a poorly healed fracture can cause problems for many years to come.

I'd get it checked. Sooner, just in case it is a fracture, you don't want it to start healing until it's set properly.

Thanks, may go tonight. Just always jump the gun on these things so I waited. No "obvious" signs like bone sticking out, swelling, other than light bruise and a small bump. And the fact that if I hit it I see stars..lol
