Bumpty bump. STW diagnosis required!
Any thoughts from people with very minor hand injuries?
Hurt my hand in a tumble at a race a fortnight ago. Very slight swelling and a bit of pain a few hours later, but no obvious bruising, and it is only a dull pain if I prod a certain bit of my palm (centre, towards my wrist) with my other hand.
Doesn’t sound like my scaphoid is broken (from what I have heard) and I have full use of my hand and fingers, can make a fist etc, albeit 2.5 weeks later, my palm is still a bit sore. I suspect that my wrist is slightly sprained, but it isn’t bad, and I’m sure it will sort itself out shortly.
Considering getting it x-rayed just to check, but I have a nagging suspicion that it might be a waste of everybody’s time. Is it possible that there is just some tissue damage to my palm which is taking a while to heal, or that a slight sprain in my wrist would extend to that part of my palm?
MTFU comments welcomed.
