Broken wrist
So I'll start this one with a little advice. If the thought even crosses your mind, that you might have a broken wrist, do yourself a favor and have it x-rayed.
I took a nasty spill about 2 months ago, and didn't think much of it. I just thought it was a sprain like the other 5,000 sprains I've had in my life. It was swollen pretty bad the next day, but got better over the course of a week to the point i had about 80% range of motion, and little pain.
But it never got any better than that. So I thought, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have it checked out, since it's been about 8 weeks or so. Sure enough, broken navicular(scaphoid) in my wrist. It's gonna need a screw put in it, and then a cast for a couple months. So, if you sprain a wrist bad enough where you even, maybe, possibly, think that it could be fractured, have it x-rayed.
