I hurt my Wrist

If money is an issue - think of this. If you leave it and there's a break in there, it heals wrong, then later you could have a lot more problems with it. If it could be fixed at all after healing wrong, that would probably end up costing you a lot more.

Go, there's no point in toughing it out.

Its better today now because I tried not using it yesterday so I wil not need a Dr. Its purple but all the swelling is now gone. It also hurts less now.

I still PERSONALLY think it needs a lil check up..

Here are some pics of the bruise.


Its better today.

Well, you can't tell much from bruises...but that looks an awful lot like the bruising I had when I broke my wrist.

The bruising is less now and I did push on it just now.
There is no swelling anymore.
What part did you break?

I broke the radius, the big bone, right where it starts to narrow down.

I don't even know what I hit with it. I fell down a flight of stairs with my luggage in the train station in Stockholm, Sweden, and when I got up, I had a cut on my head and a painful wrist which eventually turned out to be broken.

If you can't move your hand upward and downward or side to side as much as normal, it may well be broken. The worst it can do is heal in an abnormal position.

I wore a brace on it for 6 weeks, and the doctor (and all I have read) said that it will probably continue to hurt for most of year, and maybe forever.

I remember your post about that.
I hope you feel better.
I can move it now but the pain gets bad sometimes.

I just got to thinking about something. I've fallen a lot, landing on wrists, shoulders, and pretty much anything else one can land on. I've even fainted and taken a hard fall with an extra 4' of height added to my fall because I was standing on something. Nothing has ever been broken.

mews2much - You've mentioned having problems with anemia, correct? Has your vitamin D level ever been tested or tested lately?

I do not think that has ever been tested.
The last Anemia test was ok but it has been awhile.
I do not Bruise like before when the Anemia was so bad.
You are lucky you do not bruise bad.

Oh, I didn't say anything about bruising. I don't even have to hit or bump into anything to get bruises - especially on my legs. Everything makes me bruise. It's been 3 weeks now? since I got out of the hospital and I still have bruises from IVs and blood being drawn.

It wouldn't hurt to get your wrist checked out, and have a few blood tests done. If your vitamin D levels are very low, and have been for a bit, your bones won't be as strong so you'll be at risk for fractures and breaks. And if you did manage to fracture or break something in your wrist it could affect how well you heal.

I used to take Pred for my Asthma and still take inhaled steroids.
I do get bruises on my legs.
I hope you feel better.
Last time I had a Iv the bruise was there for a long time.
