Suggest Treatment For Pain And Swelling On Wrist After An Injury

Hi, I hurt my wrist by hitting it on the railing really hard when I ran into it. It s right under my thumb but lower by sort of on my wrist. It s bruised and there s swelling. It s also very tender and hurts to touch. It s on my left hand on the left side, not on the bone that sticks up. What should I do? Is it just bruised?

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Dear patient
You have got significant trauma to your left hand and possibility of fracture cannot be ruled out. I would advise Xray of left hand anteroposterior and oblique views to rule out bony abnormalities. Visit radiology center nearby you and get it done. Meanwhile start tab diclofenac plus serratiopeptodase combination twice a day for pain relief. Apply ice packs on bruise to reduce pain and swelling. You need to consult expert orthopaedic surgeon with report. All the best.
