On Tuesday, ds (3) fell off of the arm of the sofa onto the floor and hurt his arm. He cried straight away and carried on crying on and off for an hour or so (very unlike him). So dh took him to A&E.
The injury was pin pointed to his wrist and he had an x-ray. Nothing showed up on the x-ray and they put it down to a probable sprain.
So, 3-4 days later and ds still won't use his arm. There hasnt been any swelling, but he keeps it dangled beside him and he cries out in pain if the wrist is moved in a certain way.
If it was a sprain, would there always be swelling?
If things haven't improved we will be off to A&E tomorrow, but I just wondered what other people's experiences were.
