Treatment For Hand Injury That Is Not Relieved By Painkillers?
Hi I fell 3weeks ago and hurt my left hand side, where my chest and breast is and under my arm pit, I have been to doctors but got strong pain killers, she said its not worth going for x ray as it will take 3 to 4 weeks to heel if its a fracture, but a feel as am not getting better and can't do anything like bend or house work, Av rested all week but feel no better. Thanks

Hello,
I have studied your case with diligence.
If you fall down during yoga then there is possibility of fracture.
You may need X ray of wrist to rule out any minor fracture.
You can consult your doctor for x ray and further treatment.
Do ice application, and give rest to wrist.
You can apply crepe bandage for support.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
