Can scaphoid/tfcc/foosh injuries really be missed for 9 weeks? it's 10 now, could the e danlos just be slowing healing time?

Missed injuries: Many injuries described can take several weeks to identify. This can be for a variety if reasons including: the nature of initial or subsequent presentation, anatomic variance, time to identifiable diagnostic findings, and evolution of the pathology or injury. Scaphoid fractures often have negative X-ray until several weeks after fracture. E Danlos can delay healing b/o Type and collagen need.
