Knuckle Pads

Question: Is there any joint exercises for a damaged knuckle joint? I damaged my little finger knuckle joint quite a while back, I thought overtime it would gradually become less painful but it hasn't. It doesn't hurt doing everyday tasks but I like to do boxercise and I can no longer hit pads or a heavy bag because the pain becomes excruciating. I've also noticed it tends to hurt more when my hand is cold? Is there any type of self physiotherapy I can do to 'strengthen' it again? This was about 3 months ago..

Answer: I had a very bad hand injury. A dog attacked my dog and she did not defend herself, I got stuck in and two of my figures were shattered. I had to have an op at a hospital which has a unit which specialises in hands. Apparently hand injures are very difficult and they are very slow to heal. I am having phiso therapy, this is also at the unit which specialises in hands and I have a sheet of diagrams which I can scan and send to you. I know that I will not be able to do this on Yahoo, however if you email me your primary email address I will do so.

Question: How do you get rid of a knucle pad? I thought they were warts this entire time. But then i go to a skin specialists and he calls them knuckle pads. How do you ge rid of these things cause these things thicken up your skin like crazy?

Answer: This one is kind of fun: "Keratolytics Cause cornified epithelium to swell, soften, macerate, and then desquamate. Salicylic acid (Dr. Scholl' s) ( this is corn remover!!) By dissolving the intercellular cement substance, produces desquamation of the horny layer of skin, while not affecting structure of viable epidermis. Hydrate skin and enhance effects of medication by soaking the affected area in warm water for 5 min prior to use; remove any loose tissue with brush, wash cloth, or emery board and dry thoroughly; improvement should generally occur in 1-2 wk; maximum resolution may be expected after 4-6 wk, although application for up to 12 wk may be necessary." http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/10…

Question: My boxer is 8 weeks and vet says his pads are over sized. Will it go away or cause him to be knuckled over? You can notice it on his front legs. Will he grow into it? The vet and the breeder both said he would be a large adult. The dog compensates for his large pads by allowing his first knuckle to buckle inward and making him bowlegged and messing up his gate.. The vet is concerned he wont grow into them in time, and therefore making his bones shaped funny. Has anyone else ever experienced this?

Answer: what did the vet say about it? my thinking is he's going to be big. oh, that sounds painful. give the baby kisses and hugs from me and tell him i hope he's not in pain. oh, ouch. i've not heard of it and i hope it doesn't happen. lovin's to the baby.

Question: Will duct tape get rid of a knuckle pad?

Answer: no ,

Question: Can a wart or pherhaps a mole be transparent? I have an eruption on my finger at the knuckle.? Have tried over the counter removal pads, but nothing happens. Can see two pinhead dark dots at the base. It don't hurt but surrounding skin is inflamed from the wart removal pads. Any suggestions? Should I be concerned?

Answer: If you are really concerned, you may want to see a doctor, perferably a dermatologist. I had a stubborn wart on my hand before that didn't go away even after two freezing treatments. It took quite a while to get rid of it.

Question: Where can I buy bread, barbed wire, gunpowder, a canoe, s.o.s. pads, and brass knuckles at a one stop location

Answer: Dude, where the hell are you headed? I would say Wal-Mart if it weren't for the barbed wire and the brass knuckles. You'll have to stop at a feed & seed and a biker shop on your way out of town.

Question: What does 'Well knuckled up' mean in a breed standard?

Question: Please help me on my french, is this how you translate it? "The gloves have knuckle padding, reflective piping and an articulated thumb?" Is it, " Les gants ont jambonneau matelassure, des tuyauterie réfléchissantes et un pouce articulès?" Thanks for your time.

Answer: Les gants sont rembourrés aux jointures, ont des passepoils réflechissants et un pouce articulé. jambonneau and tuyauterie have nothing to do with gloves.

Question: Is the fact that we have extra padded skin on our knuckles an example of primate evolution? I know that the skin on our knees and elbows is looser to accommodate bending but on our knuckles it is somewhat thicker as well. Is this because our distant primate ancestors used to walk on their knuckles?

Answer: This is a more involved question than you think. The debate is raging in the scientific community as to whether we are descendant from knuckle walking primates at all. http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20… http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2009/0…

Question: What is a good brand for punching gloves for heavy bag training, what should I be looking for? I have a heavy bag at home, I started training with it recently but the gloves that I had wore out within months,the padding on right knuckle is pretty much gone, I don't remember where I got the gloves but the brand that they are is century, the heavy bag itself is everlast so I was thinking of getting some everlast gloves, but I heard some pretty bad stuff about them so I don't know....

Answer: Century and Everlast are two of the worst brands you can buy. The only brands I vouch for are: 1.) Cleto Reyes 2.) Grant (only their gloves, and only their "Professional" line of gloves). 3.) Ringside 4.) Winning 5.) Windy and Twins (marginal). The worst brands include: Everlast, Title, Century, Combat Sports, TKO, etc. Pretty much everything outside of my "good" list is trash. If I were you working out on the heavy bag, I'd use the Everlast factor as motivation into punching the bag into 50,000 pieces. Hope I helped.
