Suggest Treatment For Painful Knot On Wrist After Injury
I trip and fell into the corner of the door frame and it hurt bad at the time. A little while later I noticed a knot and it you can move it. It is about 2 inches from my wrist. I can movie my wrist and arm. My arm does hurt a little, but not real bad. My pinky and the finger next to it is kinda numb.Do you think I could just put ice and it would be alright or do I need to go to the doctor?

Hello, welcome to HCM. I am worried their might be a fracture and it is compressing the nerve (ulnar nerve). Please immediately get one simple plain X-ray of the wrist- AP and lateral . With report please take an advise from orthopaedician. It should be reduced and immobilised. Take care
