 [ Symptoms ] can i break the same bone twice i broke my 3rd metacarpal 10 months ago this past weekend while doing some work outside my hand started hurting there was no trauma that i can remember it has swelled up and is pretty painful antiinflamitories dont seem to be helping is it possible i broke it again [ Disease ] it would typically require a significant injury again to fracture your metacarpal but the only way you will know for sure it to be examined by your medical provider and perhaps have another x ray bones tend to heal well if the fractures were properly lined up but bones can re break
