A member asked:
Possible broken wrist. still hurting badly week after injury. do i need a xray?

Probably: If you had a sufficient mechanism of injury to have fractured your wrist and are still hurting one week after the injury, i would sure be checked and get an xray. The wrist is such an important part for function and you would not want to have any long term problems with it. Thank you for the question.

Yes: Pain after 3 weeks does not seem like a sprain, you should get an xray.
