A member asked:
Is my wrist fractured? fell on my hand about 3 weeks ago and wrist hurts way more now than it did when it first happened
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Falls can cause wrist fractures and/or ligament tear. Both can be serious and persistent pain should be evaluated, preferably by a hand surgeon.
