See DR: You may have just bruised the hand, or you might have a undisplaced fracture. Only way to tell is with an xray. Next time punch a pillow, it will give you psychological relief without the patin.

In 30 seconds of lying down (regardless of side/position), if my hand is rolled up (as a punch) both my arm, hand & fingers will go numb & painful.
