Treating a hand injury? |
Hey, I seem to have run into a little problem. The door from my closet fell while I was lying in my bed and it fell right on my hand with the edges. My hand is cut relatively badly but not deep enough for stitches and I bandaged it, but it continues to bleed pretty bad, and I have to change the bandaids ever 10 minutes or so. What do I do to stop the bleeding? And how can I possibly check for any broken bones without moving my hand, since I currently cant. see a doctor YOU NEED MEDICAL ATTENTION FAST! Go get stitches! The depth of the cut is not always the factor used to determine whether you need them or not. In areas that flex and move alot, they may be needed so you don't rip open the would every time you move your fingers, and if it continues to bleed after ten minutes, it is likely more serious then you first thought. Any loss of sensation/movement should be seen by a medical professional as soon as possible to prevent permanent injury. You need to be seen in an Emergency room, and may need Antibiotics, if this becomes infected a hand infection is a very dangerious thing with long term consequences. Wrap the finger with cause, hold pressure and get a ride to the emergency room NOW!! |
