A member asked:
I think i had an (untreated) carpal fracture in my left hand about a year ago, and have felt pain since. if i got an xray, would it show anything?

Exam/ X-rays : Best thing to do obviously is to see an ors and get a thorough examination and x-rays .If you had a fracture from a year ago then x-rays will more than likely show evidence of this. Best of luck!
