Softball Injury

[L.J]

I am not a doctor and, like others here, my advice is to go to a doctor. Based on the location and description of how it happened, it sounds like it could be a hamate bone injury. This is fairly common, and it seems like a few players a year suffer this injury.

It could be something else entirely, but if it is the hamate bone, it's not going to just heal on its own.

There's some good info here, but again, go to the doctor for an actual diagnosis.

She was honest, said she was grabbing at straws and took a chance

This is pretty close to the top of the list of things you don't want to hear a surgeon tell you, right behind "Sorry I'm late, but there were giving out free cocktails at the bar all night."

I agree, but in this particular situation, and for as long as I dealt with this pain and not playing, I was very okay with it!

Plus, if the surgery hadn’t worked….I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t have said that!
