What Is The Treatment If Got Hurt On Knee ?

Hi my son just fell playing basketball, scraped his knee and fell on his side. He put his hand down to break the fall and his wrist and bottom part of his thumb towards his wrist hurts and is a little swollen. We are putting ice on it right now and he has movement.

Hello,

As he had fallen on an outstretched hand this may be a scaphoid injury. Using icing and crepe bandage will help reduce pain and inflammation. Do some simple exercises after a week and he should be fine. Nothing major to be worried.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
