Is Severe Swelling And Pain In Wrist An Indication Of Fractured Bone?
Hi, I hit my wrist with a hammer accidentally. It s been 3days but it s still swollen and there is a large patch of bruises. It hurts a lot every time I move it. It hurts even more when I pick things up or let it drop by my side when I m walking. The best position is putting it in a L shape on my stomach. Is there any chance that I ve fractured my bone?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, without clinical examination and x-ray study fracture can not be known hair line fracture always need x-ray study and better to see the doctor and get done the x-ray hope this information helps.
