So yesterday, i was standing on a chair when my foot slipped and i fell face first into the carpeting. I used my wrist to break my fall an dever since it really huurts. Its not bruised but my legs and nose are bruised up pretty well from the fall. It hurts when i try to turn my wrist into my body like when i wash my hands, dry them, hook my bra, do my hair, try to wash my hair, eat, etc. This happened two days ago and it is still a bit swollen. I tried wearing a ace splint but that doesn't help from the pain of turning my writs. When you put presure on the bone, it hurts and when i rotate my wrist it hurts a lot. My parents think nothing is wrong and they don't want to take me to get x-rays until a nother couple of days. Im icing it and taking ibprofeun but it isn't helping. Anybody have any ideas?

Yes. You need to go to a doctor. The way your describing sounds like a bad sprain or even broken. Yea there can be a broken bone and you cant tell&& doctors cant tell without xrays. So i suggest you go to a doctor.

Since it happened two days ago. And it actually needs anyform of a cast they usually wont put it on.

I know that from past experiences.



IM WRITING IN CAPS SO YOU CAN SEE THE EDIT:

wHEN I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL FOR MY WRIST. tHEY ASKED ME HOW LONG IT HURT I SAID 2 DAYS AND THEY SAID. iT WAS REALLY SWOLLEN AND CHANCES OF BROKEN BONE. bUT BECAUSE I WAITED TWO DAYS TO GET TO THE HOSPITAL THEY WERENT GOING TO BE ABLE TO PUT A CAST ON.
