She fell on it yesterday evening, well infact yesterday afternoon too.
I was upstairs so didn't see exactly what she did, but she was on her wheelies in the hall and I heard the thud of her falling over. By the time I got downstairs she was crying and screaming at Dd2 not to touch her.
Anyway, I got her up and got an ice pack to put on her arm. It didn't swell up at all and still isn't now.
If I run my finger down her arm from elbow to wrist, she complains of pain, just before you get to her wrist. She is moving it ok, and can use it to pick stuff up, open the door etc and she has been writing this morning, although she said it hurt when she pressed down to do a full stop.
She did complain about it as soon as she woke this morning, but only in a 'oh it still hurts' kind of way, not a 'i am in agony' way.
I don't know what to do. If I had to say one way or another, i'd say it's not broken.
Is it worth sitting in a&e all afternoon to get ti checked ?? I would really feel like we were wasting their time.
