Fifth Metacarpal Fracture
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.
