Couldn't really find anything like this in the search... so hopefully i'm not making a new topic for nothing...



anyway, i popped a vein in my right hand's index finger about a week ago... it hurts an incredible amount to smash and hurts after a long time of clearing... obviously, one should stop for an amount of time, and i will, but does anyone know approximately how long it takes for something like this to heal?

You mean you popped a capillary? A vein is quite a large blood vessel...

I popped a capillary once while flexing my fingers. The pain lasted several days...

When I did something like this (burst blood vessel in my thumb), it took several weeks to go away. It also recurred. By switching to a towel grip, however, I was able to reduce the problem (a softer grip when you squeeze the racket handle will reduce the pressure on your fingers).

what!?!? don't you guyz strengthen your fingers by getting a hammer and smashing all your fingers!?!?! Jeez, come on! :D
