What Is The Cause Of Pain In Wrist Of Child When Squeezed?
Hi, my little 3 year old girl fell off her pony and keeps saying her left wrist hurts, took ages to stop her crying and she keeps saying it hurts, got her to squeeze my finger in both hands and she was weaker in the left? She won t take any painkillers and was reluctant to force her just in case she needs to see someone? There is no swelling or bruising yet but it hurts if you squeeze the joint? hay help or advice would be great thanks!

Hi,
As there is tenderness at one point at wrist, there might be possibility of having Colle's fracture.
Go for x-ray and find out any fracture is there.
Consult orthopedic surgeon and get examined.
Ok and take care.
