Have i broken my wrist? Help please.?

Question

While i was playing soccer some few hours ago, i tripped over another boy who slidetackled me, and catched myself on my wrist. there was little pain there, so i ignored it and continued playing. now, i read that if you can go in a full circle with your wrist that it is fine. well, i can almost do it, but i get pain when i bend it in one certain direction. It is not swollen, which is a good sign, but the pain is pretty intense and it hurts really bad when i put it in that certain direction. Should i get an X-ray to be safe? or just keep ice on it and see how it feels in the morning and go from there? Thanks

Answer 1

im not sure you broke it but go to a hospital just to be sure. and ive heard that sometimes when you break a bone you dont experience pain right away. so just go have it checked out.  

Answer 2

Ice it up, take an advil or 2 then wait till morning and see if it still hurts and if it still hurts and is swollen get an X-ray

Answer 3

I think you should get an x-ray the same thing happened to me when I played indoor football with some friends. My wrist wasn't swallow, but i was in the same pain as you so I got a X-ray and it turned out i broke it. So yea go get an xray  

Answer 4

I can bet its ok. just put some ice on it and wait till the morning.

cause the same thing happened to me my hand felt kinda weird i couldnt move it all the way around. so i went to the hospital. the doctor said that it was these inflamated nerves but it could heal in less than 1 week.

so noo need to go to the doctor.

good luck:)and hope this helped.

Answer 5

Why take a chance?  My brother walked on a broken leg for three days before he went to the doctor with it.  Go get it checked out.

Answer 6

I'd be willing to bet that if you were able to type all of that, you probably didn't break your wrist....however, to be safe, it might be wise for you to have it checked out.

Answer 7

I would ice it, wrap it and take some pain medicine. If it's still real bad then see your doctor!

Answer 8

same thing happened to me but it was during skateboarding. it did not swell but i did break my wrist....... listen to ur instinct like me so i checked and have a cast so ya!!
