How long should I wait to go to ER, (broken hand?)
I got in a fight on Friday night, my entire hand is really swollen and has been since Friday. My knuckles hurt if I touch them, however the pain has been getting better the last couple days.
Should I wait to see if it gets better or go to the ER and get Xrays immediately.
I hope you gone to the ER.
I had popped my wrist out of socket and fractured my arm and, I immediately got someone to call for an ambulance. I had surgery a week later and my wrist may never been the same after the breakage. This is a recent injury. There is a member that said if you wait that later on you will have to get your hand rebroke and that is true.
I had an old breakage from falling down the stairs and put it off and as a year past by the pain kept getting worse and more weakness in the wrist and hand. I had to have it rebroke and had to have surgery and that bone in the wrist is never the same before the fall. If I had to do it all over again then, I would had gotten it done and over with right away.
Pain Sucks.
