Detailed Answer:
HI there

Thanks for the query

I have read your query and understood your problem.

Do you have any bruising in that area?

Is there any weakness in bending your wrists towards yourself?

There is a possibility of flexor tendon rupture of the forearm. This should usually be accompanied by an amount of bruising and weakness of wrist flexion.

I would advise you to get seen in the ED and a possible urgent Ultrasound scan to find out a possible tendon rupture. Apply ice and take Paracetamol for relief from pain.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,

Aashish Raghu
