Was involved in car accident yesterday, had my hands on the steering wheel and my wrist must've taken the force of my weight iyswim
It was a bit achy at first, kind of like when you sleep on it awkward and it takes a few hours to feel normal again
Anyway thought no more of it, put a tubigrip to support it
It's still hurting today though - if I bend my hand right forward or back it hurts, and if I pick something up or release my grip then there's a bit of pain near thumb joint pn the outside of my hand
Could I have possibly fractured something? Or does it sound like a sprain?
I'm a bit reluctant to go to A&E as I live in a city and it gets very busy so don't want to waste the drs time (id also have to catch a bus there and take DS with me)
If it was a fracture would they put it in a cast or just bandage it?

Should I go to A&E? Possible fracture?
