A member asked:

I fell last night on my hand and it clicked and it has hurt since could i have fractured it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, it is possible.: A fall onto the hand can cause a sprain, ligament injury, or a break/fracture of bone. Pain is a good indicator of a problem.

I fell on my left wrist skating and I felt a sharp pain. It hurts when i move it to the left, I cant even move it to the left without help from my other hand. I am thinking it is a scaphoid fracture.
