Suggest Treatment For Lump On The Wrist
My 10 year old son has hurt his wrist, last night he had a X-ray that showed no fracture. Late last night he woke in agony and this morning it is swollen, bruised and with a lump on top of his wrist where his wrist bends...... Should I go back or is it just ligament damage?

Hi.
You should go back to the doctor.
Just a ligament injury is bad than the real fracture. It is difficult to diagnose and treat. He needs a temporary slab so that the movements are restricted. This is needed for a proper healing. Keep the limb in elevated position in lying position to reduce the edema and pain.
