Injured my hand sparring this evening, haven't had it diagnosed by a doctor, but looking at pictures and descriptions online i'm 99% sure it's a boxers fracture (fractured 5th Metacarpal).
I was wondering if anyone else has done this and what the recovery time was like, I've looked online and it says about 6-8 weeks. However does this mean it wont be fully healed until then or I wont be able to do any bag or sparring work until then? It also isn't 'too' bad as I have some movement in it, but it's still painful and swollen up pretty big.
