Having Severe Hurting After A Fall. What Are The Chances Of Wrist Fracture?
Hi my boyfriend tripped and feel down cement stairs just about an hour ago. Within the first fifteen minutes it was swollen to the size of a baseball. He says it is numb but that it is his wrist that is hurting. I have broken my wrist before from gymnastics and I know what it feels like and ask and I m positive he didn t break it, although I am not a doctor or an x Ray machine! The swelling isn t full of lailiquid so it can t be all bad right?

hi
hope this msg finds u in good health.
I have gone through the complaints and understand your concern.
if the swelling has come immediately after the fall..it may be a simple sprain..but there are more chances of some wrist bone being fractured.
u may apply a splint.ice pack and get an xray done..
nothing to worry about.
if u have any follow up questions. feel free to consult me anytime.
hope your question has been answered.
take care. god bless
