Dumbest thing ever...........

ma9321

Okay, so yesterday I did the dumbest thing EVER! Last night I went to the gym and planning on working on legs and gluts. I was doing the lying hamstring curl with about 70-75 lbs. (can't remember which one it is) The weights get stuck, so me (not thinking cause i've been having a lot of problems with my husband) being very careless, didn't realize my hand was in between the weights. All of a sudden, they dropped and sandwhiched my whole hand. There was no one in sight. I lifted the weights with my right hand. I went to the RR to run it under cold water and I pass out. I came to pretty quick so I ran out to the front desk. The trainers took very good care of me. They iced my hand and checked my fingers and had me under observation for 30-45 mins before they let me go. Needless to say my hand is pretty bruised, swollen and cut up.
All I can say is that i've learned my lesson.
Please watch where you put your hands & feet! I've heard some horror stories.

Edited to add: It hurt like h.e.ll but I was more embarrassed than anything.

You might want to get an x-ray just to be safe. There are a lot of little bones in your hand and could give you a lifetime of trouble if something heals incorrectly.

Yeah, you should absolutely go to the doctor. You don't want to regret anything.
