Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I fell in a parking lot 5 days ago. I landed on my writsts. They both hurt at first, but now the left one doesn t seem to be healing - the right one is considerably better. The left wrist is specifically hurt on the outside (pinky side). The pain goes down my hand. I can make a fist - I have limited movement. Just a small amount of swelling. It just started to feel numb and hot. I really felt a big jolt of pain when I went to twist off my soda cap (so I twisted my left wrist to the left). I didn t think it could be broken if the swelling wasn t severe and I had decent range of motion.
Your injury might just be sprain or a fracture of ulna. Your symptoms are quiet specific for them. You need to get an X-ray of your wrist done. In the meantime, you have to give support to wrist by applying a crepe bandage and need to do ice fomentation twice a day.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rohan Shanker Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
