Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Wrist
Question: my wrist has an "injury". I don't remember injuring it but I have a high pain tolerance. I not sure if I fractured it or not. what do you think?
Brief Answer:
Fracture less likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have seen the attached photos. There is a mild swelling on the wrist. A fracture is less likely if you can move your wrist and hand in all directions without much pain. However if any particular movement causes a sudden sharp pain then it is best to get an X-ray done to be sure.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
