Question: Hie
I got my hand caught on the door handle of a car as l was trying to get in,the driver drove off at high speed,l had to shout and scream for him to stop,because everything was happening so fast l could only think about my feet being run over,to be brief ,the next day my forearm was sore and wrist swollen,emergency department said its a oblique subtle distal radius fracture and l was put on a cast for two weeks,after two weeks saw othorpedic got X-ray ,told him its still painful ,he checked the X-ray and he mumbled that it might be a small crack but l should be fine should be able to go straight to work coz everything looks fine on X-ray,so l was shocked and had to explain the kind of job l do it's physical,then he have me a week off after an awkward silence.when home in pain got medication tried to sleep but l kept on feeling the pain,called the clinic to explain my condition and l was told its up to me to decide to come back ,went back to emergency presentedy case assigned to a ED doctor who was wondering also why the cast was not put back if l was still in pain ,doctor checked my file ,explained that initially there did not see a fracture and was not visible again the second time,so l wondered why all this was not explained to me earlier ,so a specialist was consulted because my wrist was swollen close to the thumb,specialist examined my wrist and l was in pain then he said the incident could not have fractured the wrist ,he thought it could be like holding a phone for a minute or two.dows a soft tissue injury take long to heal?.my worry is this is a work injury,from the time l got hurt my employer and insurer were mot willing to provide care entitlements so l worry that if the doctors cannot find anything my employer and insurer might reject my medical claims.re there any tests that l can take or can l get a different opinion from another othorpedic

Now am not sure why l have so much pain below the thumb and am hoping there is just nothing serious.if its a minor fracture can get bigger in future and cause damage
