Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you hit your wrist .Following this you are having swollen wrist and fingers .your doctor said there is nothing major, but your mother is worried about fracture.As your wrist movements are causing much pain, it can be fracture specially small bones such as scaphoid fracture which goes unnoticed. So I advise you to get your x-ray wrist AP,lateral and oblique view to exclude fracture. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
