How can you know if your wrist is broken/fractured? *home alone* :/?

Question

my younger brother just knocked a 4kg dumbell of a 3ft wall on to my wrist. it's really sore and moving it is quite painful it hurts to move my fingers too :/ its abit red and swollen around the base of my radius do you think i could have broken it.

i'm 16, home alone with my bro and not sure what to do please help

Answer 1

Please go a doctor now, ask help from your neighbours.  

Answer 2

you probably fractured it..  in which case it is a good thing you are going to the doctor in 2 hours. Thats exactly how i fractured my wrist, except my uncle did it and he's a doctor so we went to the hospital immediatly and i only had a cast on for 8 or 9 weeks. good luck.

Answer 3

well the symptoms of a broken wrist are 1.the place looks irregular or weird 2.it feels or has felt numb 3.its hard to move ur fingers and 4.it hurts everyone says that when u break ur wrist it has excruciating pain but that's not always the case because some people get numb right when they break it like i did go to the doctor as soon as possible because if you leave this untreated for too long it may get worse for now, until you get to a hospital put a ice pack 20 min on and 20 min of while keeping your wrist elevated such as on a pillow or armrest try to move ur arm as little as possible

P.S.***** I'm only 11 but ive broken my wrist before and when i did i did ALOT of research on it and i know how it feels trust me if you need anymore help go on medical sites****

Answer 4

I;ve broken my wrist before, you should get it checked out RIGHT NOW. Go to the hospital. Get a sling, or wrap it. When I broke my wrist, my hand wasn't attached to my arm. And it was obvious. Not a good memory
