3 years ago I hit my hand towards the wall. My fifth finger metacarpal bone minor fracture and hair line crack 4th finger too. Nowadays I'm going to gym everyday. I don't know how I feel the pain again in the same bone when giving pressure by doing push-ups or any excercise which gives too much tension to the bone. What should I do? I don't know how to cure it. Please do advice me.

• Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment where a limb or the entire body is immersed in warm water followed by the immediate immersion of the limb or body in ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation. • Gentle Stretching of Hand Muscles. • Ball exercises. • Gripping exerciser and pinching exercises with resistive putty, wrist mobilization
