A member asked:
Instead of going to the er for an x-ray for a arm do urgent cares have everything for a broken or bruised or sprained wrist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Please describe your injury, how and when did you hurt your wrist? Ice, to reduce swelling, a splint to support and reduce movement during healing may be indicated. An x ray is obtained by assessment as indicated. Please see a physician and a Healthtap consultation is available.
