Well, I was boxing on my heavy bag, and I hit the bag at a pretty bad angle where my hand bent inward (right hand,) then later during the training session I hit it at another bad angle and my hand bent down (also right hand.) Now the problem is that I have multiple pains in my hand now. During this session, I was not wearing tape. I have pain in the areas that are highlighted in the picture below.
1. Sharp pain when applying direct pressure or punching (backside); dull pain when applying direct pressure (palmside)
2. Where the thumb metacarpal meets the wrist (backside) there's a dull pain, but a shooting (palmside) when turning hand or moving left to right. My thumb gets kind of stiff sometimes too, and I can crack it very easily just by rotating it.
3. oh wait, I forgot to put 3 XD
4. Just a small pain when rotating fingers around
5. Same as above, but a little more pain (note I have had a boxer's fracture in my right hand before and my metacarpal snapped completely in half).
Also in my left hand, I have a pain in my pointer finger at the knuckle (not the main punching knuckle, but the one below it). And it also has some pain in the pointerfinger metacarpal when I punch.
Any advise on how to proceed, or not proceed. Am I punching too hard, are my bones weak (note that I've never broken a bone except for when I punch things.) I don't have transportation to a doctor's office currently.
Edit: symptoms in left hand seem to be similar to right hand now. Pain in the 5th metacarpal (pinky metacarpal) and around thumb and lots near the pointer finger knuckle. Also my right hand, all the knuckles have a lot of pain when pushing them together lightly.
