Hi, I hurt my wrist by hitting it on the railing really hard when I ran into it. It s right under my thumb but lower by sort of on my wrist. It s bruised and there s swelling. It s also very tender and hurts to touch. It s on my left hand on the left side, not on the bone that sticks up. What should I do? Is it just bruised?
Dear patient You have got significant trauma to your left hand and possibility of fracture cannot be ruled out.  I would advise X-ray of left hand anteroposterior and oblique views to rule out bony abnormalities. Visit radiology center nearby you and get it done. Meanwhile, start tab diclofenac plus serratiopeptodase combination twice a day for pain relief. Apply ice packs on bruise to reduce pain and swelling.  You need to consult expert orthopedic surgeon with report.  All the best.
