Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Get X-ray : If you're wrist is still hurting 2 wks.After the injury u described ; see your pcp ( or ors) for repeat examination and x-rays . Occassionally a fracture will not be seen or appreciated immediately . Scaphoid fractures ( snuffbox) of the wrist can be easily missed w/ standard x-rays. Best to have it checked out! gl!
