Has anyone had xrays of their wrist and hand after falling? A few months ago, I lost my balance and fell on my butt and put my hands out to break the fall. At first I didn't have pain, but lately I have bad pain on a daily basis. I hope I won't need an MRI b/c I'm extremely claustrophobic. Anyone else? Thanks in advance for any feedback.:(
 
Request a Bone Scan-this scan will detect any small fractures. You may also have done some tendon or ligament damage. If the hand and wrist are still bothering you, than you should see an orthopedic doctor.
 
I saw the orthopedist today about my wrist/hand pain. They took xrays and the Doc told me I have torn cartilage in my wrist. The options are: ice it, take anti-inflammatories, and do wrist strenghtening exercises, have a cortisone shot, go to PT or have a scope. I chose to strengthen my wrists on my own with exerise and hope my Acupunturist can relieve the pain. I've had a Cortisone shot before and it hurt so bad and didn't relieve the pain in my knee. I'm wearing a splint to see if that helps. I'm also taking Advil and will ice my wrist. If I don't experience any relief, I'll see the Dr. again in a few months.
