MUDRUNNER Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 I hurt my wrist this morning and it hasn't gotten any better.I slipped on the ice and my wrist curled forward and has been killing me ever since.It's fairly swollen from the bottom of my thumb all the way across the back,and I cant touch my pinky and thumb together,or hardly hold anything in it.I hate to go to the e.r. for x-rays if it's just a spraign.

jbeck Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Re: Anybody ever break their wrist?? better head there MUD, I've never broken my wrist, but I'd sure want to know. If you wait to long and it is broken, they might have to rebreak it. Get to the doc and see. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Re: Anybody ever break their wrist?? Yes I broke my left wrist and it sure is painful. I'd wait a day and check the swelling, but if the pain keeps hurting EVEN when your not moving, then I'd say get it checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJR Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Re: Anybody ever break their wrist?? Go and get an X-ray! It is probably the cheapest thing you can do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Re: Anybody ever break their wrist?? Nope, but have broken my arm a couple times. Would also suggest getting it checked out, and you dont really have to go to the ER to do that. When my oldest daughter broke her arm just above the wrist last summer, we took her to our family physician at the local medical center, they x rayed it said yep it was broken, and they put it in a cast. So long as the bones dont need to be set, some general physicians can and will take care of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Re: Anybody ever break their wrist?? If it is broken and you let it heal without medical attention it may heal wrong. The only way they can fix it then is to REBREAK IT! Don't take the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exturkinator Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Re: Anybody ever break their wrist?? I'd have to agree with the xrays - you may have a broken scaphoid, triquetrium, or pisiform... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvDog Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Re: Anybody ever break their wrist?? Nope...both arms and a toe but never my wrist. Busted it up pretty good once jumping BMX bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NS whitetail Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Re: Anybody ever break their wrist?? no but my daughter fell out of a tree last summer and broke hers. We didn't really know it was broke until we went to the hospital and she had x-rays. get it looked at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wimpy Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Re: Anybody ever break their wrist?? I have broke mine twice and each time if I tried to raise my hand above my head it was extremely painful,I would suggest a trip to the e.r.

archerjg Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Re: Anybody ever break their wrist?? Yep been there. Broke my left wrist a few years ago. My wrist swelled up to the size of my hand and everything was locked into place and would not move. Broke the end of the large bone that runs through the forearm in several places. Sounds like yours may be broken get to the doctor and get it taken care of. Good luck hope you get better soon. Archerjg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThethirdI Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Re: Anybody ever break their wrist?? Broke my right wrist while boxing. I barely even had any swelling. I went to work the next day and couldn't do my job so they sent me out for x-rays and I had broken both bones in my wrist. The doctor said that it looked like a fracture they call the "boxer's fracture". I said hey that's about right since that's how I got it.

M00N Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Re: Anybody ever break their wrist?? I have cracked my wrist before, but never broke it. Only broken fingers and toes, luckily. Like the others said get some X-Rays to make sure it's not broken. Better safe than sorry. If it is broken and it heals wrong the only way to fix it then is to rebreak your wrist. I don't think you'll enjoy having to go through these pains all over again when they do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted February 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Re: Anybody ever break their wrist?? Well,I went to my doctor yesterday afternoon and the lady that does the x-rays in his office was gone,so he sent me to the hospital for them.They didn't see any fractures so they're calling it spraigned.I've had spraigned ankles before,but they didn't hurt this bad.It's still swollen and slightly bruised,so I guess I'll give it a few days and see if it improves at all.Looks like I won't be shooting DART League this week.

Guest longknife Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Re: Anybody ever break their wrist?? go get it checked because if it heals without proper attention you will reget you never got it checked.I know i fractured mine at a sawmill 6 years ago and still bothers me to this day because I never got it looked at and dealt with right.

Turkeygirl Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Re: Anybody ever break their wrist?? Glad to hear you got an x-ray. Even bad sprains, if not taken care of, can heal wrong and give you problems. do you have some type of brace for supporting it? It's probably be a good idea to have one.
