I need help. I cant go to a doctor right now. Help?!


Question: I need help. I cant go to a doctor right now. Help?
Alright, so first i should say im 12 years old and, yesterday, I went ice skating for the first time. Since it was my first time i was expecting to fall. But when i did fall the first time, i fell forwards. I didnt land on my face, because my arms caught me. After that, my left wrist started to hurt. So then i took a short break. Then i went back on the ice, and a little while later, i fell once again forwards. And my wrist started to hurt more. So then i took yet another break. But that one was longer than the other break. Afterwards. I went back on the ice, being a brave cautious person and stayed near the railings. Then once i caught on to it again, i skated towards the middle then fell the same way and my left wrist started to hurt. Then from that fall on, i stopped skating the whole time we were there. But then, my friends wanted to play laser tag. So i, never played laser tag before, went aswell. And this five foot eleven man bumps into my on the second round, and I FALL landing on my wrist. then i went into a little corner and waited for the game to end. (since it was dark, i couldnt see who did it.. oh and im only five foot two..). Now it hurts really bad. Do you think i did major damage? Would it help if i included my weight? 105-110lbs. Yeah. Im going to the doctors later but i just want to get an idea for now. Thanks.

Hello,

It sounds like you may have a severe sprain or maybe a hairline fracture, or you may have broke the bone completely in two. As far as major damage, the only thing that I can think of is......a bone would not be aligned correctly or something along that line, and they would have to go in and do surgery to fix it. Most likely you have just sprained it or broke it and you will have it wrapped or casted for 6-8 weeks.

Good Luck

9 broken bones



You may have a broken scaphoid if right under your thumb is swollen. I'm getting x-rays because I fell on ice also. Good luck!



GO TO THE DOCTOR !
