Never wrap around your pinky, you can break it!

Seems that you adopting the wrong technique in your punching. You are to use your knuckles,specifically your index and middle finger knuckles. You will have to make a conscious effort to focus on those when you do puching with your gloves on, rather then "simply punching" which is causing your fingers immense discomfort, you can even break them or cause hairline fractures if your unlucky. Take Care.

Another reason I would think that the pinky finger doesn't get "wrapped" is that we don't use them at all if we apply the correct technique.

hmm... if it is bad. Just rest a couple of days before your next training, we're training to be nakmuay not training to be men of steel! Just rest... when you feel that you're in good condition, just head back to training then. And check with your instructor on whether your techniques are correct and ask them to focus more on you when you punch.

For People Who Have The Same Problem I Think If Want Temporary Pain Relief Can Use (Yoko Yoko Ammeltz) It's Quite Hot But I Used It Before Pain Heal Faster, Also Can Iced Your Fingers If Really Need To Also Don't Do Any Pratical Trainning Shadow If Advised For Me Smile Wrapping Is Also Most Important Just Like What Mytiq & Gaijinu Said... ^_^ Even This Post Is Quite Some Time Ago But I Hope This Would Help Anybody Who Encounter The Same Injury Smile
