I am going to start off and say that about
a year and a half ago, I opened my closet
and a rather heavy box fell on my left
wrist. I had no pain, only a prominant
bump where I was hit. I figured since it
didnt hurt, I didnt need to go to the
doctor. I thought maybe it was just
swollen, but it never went away after a
year and a half.
Four weeks ago, I ran into a door handle
and hit my wrist in that exact same spot
and was a little sore for a couple days,
and the prominant bump got a little
bigger. About a week after that, I started
getting a shooting pain in my hand, and
whenever I used that hand a lot, I would
start to get tingling in my fingers.
I went to my doctor, they did an x-ray and
nothing showed up. He put me on an
anti-inflammatory to hopefully get rid of
what he thought was the soft tissue being
swollen. My wrist hasnt gotten any better
and I am wondering what could be wrong
with it.
