I have a swollen middle knuckle on my left hand and i want it to heal up fast because im going to start sparring soon, and i dont want to stop hitting the bags but ill go light whenever i use my left hand, but what should help it heal faster?

This is proberbly the most common complaint from a boxer. Swollen fists. My advice and what i do is.... just double wrap your hands. If it still hurts, then add a layer of cotton wool between the 2 wraps. The pain should be dulled enough for you not to care about the pain.

Plus... are you using bag mitts on them bags? If so, swap for a pair of gloves. The heavier the better if your hand is hurting.

get more padding on em and focus on your right hand mechanics and conditioning and such for a while. You can never be in too good of shape.

Evander Holyfield swears by Benny Hinn therapy.

What I do when I bust up one of my hands is I work on the technique and power of my other hand I mostly let my hurt hand rest ice it after training, my advice is just dont hit the bags or spar as much with a hurt hand dont throw it as much focus on your other hand

Cutting yours hands??! I've never seen that before. How do you mean msagrain? Perhaps you are wrapping them too tight? Or perhaps you should buy some new ones?? Where abouts are the cuts on ure fist?
