Um...i may have broken my hand/thumb

[embarrasinginjury]

..but i don't want to tell you how because you will laugh.

In a reasonable amount of pain, there is a little bit of swelling and there is bruising. I have a lot of movement, i can clench a fist and i can open my hand but not fully. Its not that it won't go, its that it f*king hurts when i do. I'm going to have to go for x ray aren't i?

Its going to need x rayed isn't it?

yes. you will.

but you really can't leads us along and not tell. so go on - i promise not to laugh....

bugger.

did it Sat night (not drunk) and thought it was just bruised. Its not blue its brown - thats got to be a good sign??

I'll be at work in my little x-ray department tomorrow, pop in and we'll sort you out! You will have to tell us the mechanism of the injury though....

LIW where are you?! - can just imagine the thread tomorrow..."You will never guess what broke this persons thumb"

Where is that stupid injury thread when you need it?!

i broke my finger when a bus driver decided he was in starsky and hutch and pulled away with smoking tyres, resulting in me stumbling and whacking my hand on the metal hand rail. i nearly passed out.

anyhoo, GP was very helpful and told me to strap it up with a lolly stick and micropore as there was nothing he could do about it

West Wales embarrasing, and there are loads of times I would love to come on here and go 'you would NOT believe what I've seen today' but sadly it's highly unprofessional, boo. (And over the years I've seen some sights as well)

ah too far.

I am at the GP anyway 2mo so could checkwith her.

Sorry for repeat x ray question in OP!
