What Is The Treatment For Wrist Pain?
I have a clicking sound in my wrist and slight swelling with pain when I press on my wrist, pain isnt bad enough to need pain killers but my wrist doesnt feel normal. I slipped and fell on some ice last tuesday morning. My Dr thinks its a sprain, I have only just noticed the clicking sound the last few days. Do I need to have an x ray?

Hello,
I think that you should have a wrist x-ray at least in 2 projections frontal and side view as you may have a distal radius fracture which is not uncommon when you fell on ice, even though you do not have much pain (it may be a nondisplaced fracture).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Edvin Selmani
