I broke my metacarpal bone(4th) at the bases of the wrist. I got my hand caught in an automatic door. The pain is instant and swelling was unbelievable. I did this weekend of Halloween and wore a cast to my elbow for six weeks. I still have a considerable amount of pain where the break occurred. Not a good bones to break!

You can break your fingers by doing alot of things. Here is a way to break your finger(s) easily go into your grage and take a hammer and start to pound lightly then pound harder and harder and harder then eventually your finger will swell up and then quickly put your finger(s) into a freezing bucket of ice and then bend it back until you feel your knuckle break out of place or slam it on a table , drop something very heavy on it . So that is how to break your finger(s). I hope i helped you with your question. :D

Well, you fall backwards on the palm of your hand and all your weight should be on that hand! (I've already broke this bone before)!!

How serious is a broken scaphoid bone?

It can be very serious depending on the conditions of the break. If you have a non-union like I did it can take a long time. I had a long arm cast for 5 months and a wrist brace for 3 more months and I'm still not healed. The scaphoid is on of the slowest healing bones in the body and many times requires surgery with a pin, screw, bone graft, or a combination of a pin and a bone graft.If you are lucky enough to catch the break early, it can simply be treated with a cast for up to 6 weeks. It all depends on the severity and conditions of your break.
