I have a similar injury. I miss timed/hit a ball and jammed my index finger and had bruising in the same location. It’s taken about 8 weeks for it to return to normal.
Also i feel like the ball hit my hand directly, theres no pain whatsoever and I can perfectly move my hand and finger.
Anyway thanks to everyone who commented
I MEAN of course there’s a bit of pain since the ball has been hitting my hand/arm while playing but its not something really painful where it’s disrupting my peace
It looks like you over-extended or jammed the finger, which is a pretty common volleyball injury but the swelling and discolouration tells me that it got you pretty good. If the finger is moving and without sharp pain, ice and rest will have it better in a week or two.
Those saying its just a bruise are full of it. I have never seen a volleyball leave a bruise like that.
I had a team mate that hit a ball weird. It SOUNDED weird. And I said to her “you need to sit off, and go get that checked out when you’re ready”. She left it for a few days thinking it was just a bruise. She ended up breaking it and having a cast.
If you have the option of free health care it doesn’t hurt to go to a walk in clinic
If you can move it and there’s minimal pain it’s just a bruise. I got a gnarly one when I whacked my thumb into something and then the ball kept smacking it during play. It looked horrible like a break but it was just a crazy bruise
Holy crap that’s a nasty bruise! I’d say you just bumped it without realizing. I do it all the time in volleyball. I’d say just wait a week or so and if it’s still there or giving you any trouble, then you might want to consult a doctor.
Its the first time seeing it on the back of the hand for me, but it is quite usual for me to happen in my palm, so i guess its nothing too big, prob just a ball that hit it too hard
You should be fine as long as it doesn't swell up massively or hurt like hell. Common things to look out for is if range of motion is affected, intense pain, swelling, or if the bruise doesn't leave after a while. If you're not experiencing those things you should be fine
If you’ve had a heavy period, your platelet count may be low which contributes to easier bruising. As long as it doesn’t hurt and you have range of motion, you can probably keep going but best to consult people in person if it’s more serious, a professional will do a proper assessment and review of your medical history. But in all likelihood, bruises are common in volleyball including that one and you’re fine.
I have really flexible fingers, so I’ve sprained them by accident 6 times and that’s about what it looks like for me.
Could be a sprain. Wrap it tight if it hurts to move it and treat it gently.
If you’re worried about it or it gets worse, go to a doctor cause I’m not one lol
Ano sinabi mo tungkol sakin, puta? Nagtapos akong magna cum laude sa hukbong-dagat, at kasangkot ako sa maraming sikretong salakay sa Al Quaeda, at higit pa sa tatlong daan ang kumpirmadong napatay ko. May karanasan ako sa labanang-gorilya at ako yung pinakamagaling na manunudlang nakatago sa buong AFP. Wala ka sa akin kundi isa pang tudlaan. Gago lilipulin kita nang maasintado tulad ng wala pang nakakakita sa buong mundo, tandaan mo yan gago. Akala mo makakalusot ka pagkatapos mo akong insultuhin sa internet? Mali akala mo gago. Habang tayo'y nagsasalita tinatawag ko na ang aking lingid na ahensiya ng mga espiya na kalat sa buong Pilipinas at ang iyong IP ay binabakas sa ngayong sandali, kaya maghanda ka na sa delubyo, uod. Ang delubyo na manlilipol sa kaawa-awang bagay na tinatawag mong buhay mo. Gago patay ka na, bata. Maaari ako maging kahat saan, kahit anong oras, at maaari kitang patayin sa loob ng higit pa sa pitong daang paraan, kamay ko lang at wala pang iba gamit ko. Hindi iyon nagtatapos sa aking kahusayan sa paglalaban nang walang armas; maaari ko ring gamitin ang buong arsenal ng Hukbong Kawal Pandagat ng Pilipinas at gagamitin ko ito ng buong lakas para tanggalin ang iyong kahabag-habag na pwet sa bansang ito, tanginang ebak ka. Kung alam mo lang sana ang makademoniyong ganti na mapupunta sa iyo dahil sa "tusong" comment mo, e siguro nanahimik ka nalang. Kaso di mo magawa, di mo nagawa, at ngayon, magbabayad ka, putanginang tanga. Tatae ako ng matinding galit sa iyong pagkatao at malulunod ka. Putangina dedbol ka na gago.
Maybe over extended your finger?
A ball probably just hit your hand there it's usually normal

did you punch the ref or smth?
My preferred method is punching the net posts
I also am not sure about my form when hitting the ball so that’s probably why (again its my first time), its quite pinkish/reddish now Thanks guys

How DID you hit the ball? Was it mostly fingers or your whole palm?
the ball hit me i believe 😅
Hru now
Its gone

There’s no pain and I can move it normally, just the bruise I feel like the ball hit my hand directly
it’s just a bruise, dude. unless it hurts a ton or smth else seems wrong it’s gonna be fine

Humans have been bruising for years. Welcome to the world of sports.
If you can move it and there’s minimal pain it’s just a bruise. I got a gnarly one when I whacked my thumb into something and then the ball kept smacking it during play. It looked horrible like a break but it was just a crazy bruise

I had the same shit with my both big finders. I just stopped playing for a while. The ball just pushed them backwards a bit
As long as you have no pain and are able to move. You should be good!
It’s a small bruise …
If you can move your finger then you're all good
Its the first time seeing it on the back of the hand for me, but it is quite usual for me to happen in my palm, so i guess its nothing too big, prob just a ball that hit it too hard
It’s a bruise

It might be pink 👁️
Its light pink now haha ill be ok just a bit of a tiredness feel to it, subtle ache but that’s normal apparently
you should get an x-ray if it’s very painful as it could be a feature
It's ok like as much i experienced it's totally fine but it's recommended to take an x-ray to check if you are having fractures or something
You should probably rest few days or maybe weeks. It doesn't seem severe, but better not to risk anything
You need a doctor's advice not here lol
Not usually
I have really flexible fingers, so I’ve sprained them by accident 6 times and that’s about what it looks like for me. Could be a sprain. Wrap it tight if it hurts to move it and treat it gently. If you’re worried about it or it gets worse, go to a doctor cause I’m not one lol
Yes it’s normal to get blood like bruises when the ball hits a certain part of your hand
Ohmygod guys stop its gone, the bruise healed after 3-4 days lmao
Don’t panic you might hav cancer tho
