A member asked:

What could be the problem? daughter had a fall on wrist 3 weeks ago. yesteday the bandage was removed and she's in so much pain. xrays show no fractur

A doctor has provided 1 answer

X-ray when ?: X-rays taken at the time of the fall may not reveal a crack or fracture within the 8 bones in the wrist. The scaphoid bone is the common culprit. An x-ray taken a week or two later would show some bone changes that would either confirm or exclude a fracture. The injury should be re-evaluated .
