Hi,
I was at the casino last night and I got too drunk I admit, and i apparently offended someone at the table for swearing, 20mins later I had 6 bouncers asking me to leave and I politely explained /i was not leaving in a calm manner.
After asking if i was refusing to leave and answering yes I was understandably picked and handled roughly by two guards one at each arm and tossed out.
That is all fine, I get that. Never been kicked out of anything in my life but last night i was drunk and i had no problem with having to be removed.
HOWEVER - - the guards when they grabbed me used a very specific hold and the guard on the right completely pushed my hand down as far as it could go HARD and literally ever since, I have not been able to use my right hand at all. Completely serious.
Currently typing with my left hand as it is simply too painful to type as feels like kinives and pins and needles on all fingers especially the thumb, minus the pinky.
It hurts so much i could not work today and i went to the gp and he said it should return to normal within 2-3 days but if not come back to him.
I am seriously concerned that I have had my hand permanently damaged (it feels like having the pins and needles in the hand 24hrs pain, x 2 )
Has anyone ever had an inury like this ? I cant find much online. Any friends of docs or physios here?
/if it does not mend in all seriousness would I be up for compensation? It is my right fucking hand i am talking about here, I literally cant use it!?
My thumb ic completely fucked i cant even press down on the spacebar it hurts that much.
I SCREAMED at the time and saw their inhouse paramedic who took my bp and a blood sample at the time, i also got the medical case number from him. I also calle the casino this morning and asked to make sure they keep the tapes from last night...
What is everyones thoughts? I was in no way ever rude or threatening to the guards ever, i was in fact being calm collected and quiet talking. Until the agonising pain i felt. I am a skinny guy.

pushed your hand down? like in pulled on your hand? or twisted it back? I've had my hand pulled on with someones full weight and needed some kind of physical therapy for a while and a brace on my hand to stabilize it, it was also my right hand. To date i'm careful with it.
about compensation, hmm not sure, since you did refuse, i'm willing to bet there's a law that protects them from you. maybe i'm wrong, but bouncers and those cheap security guys live for this kind of shit. good luck.
- did you get an x-ray? if not, do it asap.sea_sea
- it might just be sprained. get a wrist/hand wrap. it will help the pain by keeping it stable and some ibuprofen for inflammation.sea_sea

when they were asking me to leave we were just talking calmly... "no im not leaving sorry" no pushing etc was just until the final "ok so you are telling me you refuse to leave?" they grabbed me then...

this were you fucked up
"I SCREAMED at the time and saw their inhouse paramedic who took my bp and a blood sample at the time"they will say you were drunk and belligerent and even if you were they can make up fake blood test,
sorry man

don't freak out, the worse it can be is a torn ligament, (which will get better over time, sorry) doubt they broke your hand. it sounds more like a sprain. i couldn't move or use my hand, it was swollen and painful. just take ibuprofen (advil) or flanax for the inflammation for now, it helps a lot. If you're in australia, not sure what you have there. keeping it wrapped up with a really helps too. you might have to take a few days off from work, sorry.
i used a sport brace, something like this, works great.

I think you'll be alright mate. But you must report it to the police. Not necessarily to press charges but the event needs to be formally logged as it were. So incase you do need to sue etc. it's been accounted as actually happening.

would it be normal to have this numb total pins n needles feeling in my thumb and forefinger with a sprained wrist though? i dont care about broken bones or torn ligaments im just concered about nerves of some sort being irreverdibly damaged and in this pain forever :(
- yes it's normal. don't stress so much. did you take a painkiller? once the pain starts going away you'll see that it's not forever. just take good care of it so it heals properly now, or you will have an issue with it later in life. breath. ;)sea_sea

'I politely explained /i was not leaving in a calm manner'
This reminds me of the scene in Wolf of Wall Street where he thought he drove the car home perfectly.
