I Broke two metacarpal bones in my hand almost a month since then... the doctor at the hospital told me to come back in 20 days which it's already been about 18 days... and when i go back they are going to take the bandage off and have me take some xrays again do any of you know how long it takes for this to heal i'm really not looking forward to another bandage... it's got a metal stick that goes over 2 of my fingers and then onto my hand... quite uncomfy my father took it off so i could clean it and then we put it back on though... my hand and knuckles were green! and had an odour of cheese (thats why we took it off and i washed my hand) does that mean it's healing or infection? =/.
