I have severe pain in my anatomical snuff box. what shouldi do?
8 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Possible fracture: Pain in the anatomical snuffbox needs to be evaluated with an x-ray and a fracture needs to be ruled out. Wouldn't wait to get this done. See your doctor soon, get the x-ray as soon as able.

Pain in wrist: The cause of your pain is not clearly understood based on the information provided. It may be a wrist sprain if you know you did something to it. There are a few tendons that lie in that area that can be affected. See doc for diagnosis and treatment.
