Severe Bang On Wrist, Immediately Had A Big Perfect Circular Knot. Cause And Remedy?
Thanks for posting your query. It might be soft tissue injury, ligamint injury or fracture. Without X-ray, it is difficult to differentiate a fracture from others. I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance. In the interim, ice the affected area and take anti-inflammatory drug like mortin to reduce pain and inflammation. Avoid lifting and rest well. Regards.
