Suggest Treatment For Bruise And Swelling On Wrist
Hi, about 2 weeks ago i fell and hurt my wrist. It was bruised and a wee bit swollen but not sore to move. The bone however on the inside of my wrist is very tender to touch. If I straighten and roll my hand and arm inward - thumb toward the ground it is painful but general use is not really inhibited. I am starting to feel a bit on pain down into my thumb. Am thinking whatever it is will heal on its own. Can you bruise a bone?

Hi, as per details provided by you, you feel pain and difficulty in moving the limb. So there could be just bruise, muscular tenderness or some hairline farcture too. So kindly consult orhtopedician to rule out the fracture. If there is no fracture you can take some pain killers with serratinopeptidase, like aceclofenac sp. But first you need ortho consultation.thank you.
