Wrist hurts after being punctured by needle 4 1/2 hours ago. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't know : The depth of the puncture wound or if the needle was new or old/ dirty. Don't know if the wrist is becoming red or swollen. Don't know when your last tetanus shot was. With all these unknown variables, the most prudent choice would be so seek medical evaluation. Take care.
