Am I Injured in any way?!


Question: Yesterday, I fell on my hand or my wrist upright on ice, and it is in serious pain. It isn't broken (or at least i dont think it is) because i can move it but whenever i twist it or try to pick anything up it hurts. Can you help me and tell me what the problem is and what I should do. It also hurts when a push it and sometimes it just starts to like pulse and it hurts. :( help me!

You should be checked out. A fall like that can cause hairline fractures, stress fractures, or bone chips. You would be able to move it even with them.

It sounds like you have swelling and it's possible you may just have a bad sprain--and sprains can hurt more than fractures.

Call your doctor and ask what you should do. He may have to go see him or he may tell you to trot over to the local ER for a quick x-ray.
At least it will put your mind at ease.

Go to the er or doctor, you might have a hair line fracture. Can be very painful!

You have like a zillion little bones in your hand and wrist.............I think you broke something have a x ray

go to the doctors!

lil bich....

Go see a doctor.

Probably a bad sprain. I would still go to see a doctor to make sure.

go have it xray-ed! you probably fractured something!

You have a throbbing pain. You may have sprained your wrist, or more seriously, sustained a fracture. Put ice on your injury and get some xrays!

Sprain or a torn ligament. Consult your doctor. Till that time take some analgesic like ibuprofen or tylenol, keep the arm elevated and keep the wrist from moving too much. The pain should decrease in a couple of days.

go to the doctor you might make it worse by leaving it

first you better see a docter same thing happend to me only that i fell on my thumb which is really dumb. if it is swolllen you better see a docter right away coz you never know what will happen my thumb was freakin swollen for two week s it hurt like hell so spare your self the pain and see the doc

Better to see a doctor..have your hand scanned..thats the best you can do. Good luck!

Going to the doctor for an x-ray would be the best advice anyone could provide. You do have quite a few little bones in your hand and a hairline fracture is very possible or you may have just over extended some mucsles or ligaments in your hand when falling. To get your hand to heal properly and avoid any possible problems in the future...just go see your doctor.

first speak to yourself- it all happened due to my carelessness
and console yourself. In future,try to manage things
carefully.Afterall, it is only a physical hurt better consult a
physician for your complete cure

Sir,
If you are dead sure its not a fracture. Be cool.
Keep fomenting the wrist with ice pack, continuously for 15 to 20 minutes every 2 - 3 hours.

Use a wrist band or pressure bandage for a few days.

Put the wrist on rest for a few days.
Don't try to massage it. It'll worsen your pain. Take some painkillers.

Probably it could be a ligament rupture. If it doesn't resolve in a weeks time then definitely go to an orthopedic.
