Punched a wall with medium force about 10 times. knuckles are swollen as well as skin torn off. can't make a fist or extend hand. did i injure it?

Of course: "Skin torn off" and "knuckles are swollen" means those areas have been injured. Be sure to repair any damage to the wall, and consider seeing one's primary care doctor or an orthopedic doctor about the hand.
