Ok so through a few very unfortunate decisions, I got a bit of frostbite on my fingers. They seem fine now, but some blisterish things have appeared. They hurt like crazy when i touch them. Swinging a club is extremely painful. But I need to be able to play in 2 days.... Any advice on how to get my fingers/hands back? And yes, I knowing stupid....

I think this is more of a time + severity issue. As far as I know there is not a quick fix, sans numbing the hands, which, I think you get the point. Just hope that there is not much dead tissue..

If they hurt that bad , your psyche will hurt worse after you play in a couple of days.

ago- I am no Dr., but yes, you may cause further damage. Did you not see a Dr.? The severity of the frostbite needs to be evaluated. You mentioned blisters which may be 2nd degree, but really a dr. should make the diagnosis which can't be done over the phone or from a friend that has suffered frostbite.

Get it checked out...

I have experience in the medical field however I would not qualify myself, anyone else here or even a real doctor to diagnose you over an internet golf forum with that much information. You may not want to but the proper thing to do is just go see your doctor. Where do you live to be getting frostbite this late in the year? Then again one of my friends get frostbite if she is out in sub 50* weather for more than two seconds so it is possible.

Don't bother to see a doctor. They always want to operate on every little thing. Just leave them alone and they will turn black and fall off all by themselves.

That's some funny shizzle. Or? You could indulge in some snake bite medicine, I hear it works for frost bite too... Posted Image

I'm betting "Dry Ice" lies somewhere within this scenario.

hahahaa good call there.... long story short, I got it from ice and a science experiment..... not my best decision... But anyways, my hands have gotten much better, barely even hurts to swing now. Never knew frostbite hurt so much....
