[dkilgore89]

hi my 14 month old has a sore wrist i was changing him tonight and when i put bending his wrist to put his pjs on he squealed the last few days he cries when he crawls hes been really clingy and wont let me hold his hands to help him walk which he usually loves he crys and crys and im only just realising that somethings wrong it doesnt look swollen bruised or red or anything could it still be a fracture looks like maybe a trip to a&e in the morning but just wanted to see of any of you had any experiences with your little ones? x

Could it be his elbow? A pulled elbow in young kids is really common. They are also really bad at localizing pain.

oh really im not sure it was when i was bending his wrist i dnt no how he cud of hurt his elbow because he isnt walking or anything or standing even x

They can get pulled elbows if you hold them up by the arms

I would get him checked out.
When ds fractured his wrist it really didn't show except he occasionally chose to do something with his other hand when he wouldn't normally. Wasn't even noticeably swelled or anything.
I took him to A&E a week later when he did something and I saw him wince. He hadn't complained in all that time-and as an active 8yo was doing all sorts of things-one friend told me her ds was doing monkey bars without apparently being a problem when he'd fractured his wrist.
