What kind of wrist injury do I have?


I was biking one day at a pretty fast speed, and clipped a bush, causing me to fall on my left arm. Everything was ok, but immediately, my wrist started hurting. I could move my fingers easily, but whenever I moved it forward and back, it hurt really badly. I did not see any swelling, and no bruises could be seen either. It was painful, but not unbearable. I put ice on it immediately after, and kept it elevated. It has been around 4 days, since it happened on Thursday. It has improved significantly, but it still hurts a little bit. I doubt it's a fracture or a broken wrist, since I heard the pain would be unbearable. However, I'm wondering why it's taking so long for my wrist sprain to heal. It still hurts when trying to bend it, or if I try to play piano (haha). Also, I've been keeping it elevated, and whenever I put it by my side, my wrist starts hurting. I remember rollerblading once and spraining my wrist too, but it went away in about 2 days. Please give feedback about my wrist!

You need to go see a doctor for x-rays. You could have chipped bone or only a slight fracture or something else but go see the doc and get it checked out,

Just because you can move it does not mean it might not be broken. Without an x-ray, there is no way to tell. If it is broken, you need some special support for your wrist so it will heal properly. Either way (sprain or fracture), a wrist injury takes several weeks to heal. See your doctor and get and x-ray to be sure of what you are treating.

open all fingers and pull thumb verticle. agrivating pain is sign for scaphoid bone fracture ( Carpal bone that attch to arm bone forming the wrist joint )
its one of the hardest bone fractur id diagnosis and healing. pain may subside and back after weeks. u shouldnt wait longer. or u'll suffer serious complication, the blood supply for this bone is poor normaly, so find good ortho surguen and do the apropriate examinations for scaphoid fracture ( MRI is the best )
