Back in October I had a fall and went to a&e with an extremely painful wrist. Was put in a back slab and told by on call dr I had a "small crack but he wasn't certain" was seen in fracture clinic 3 days later and put in a splint for 4 weeks. I didn't really understand what injury I had but was assured pain would go and to take splint off after 4 weeks.
2 weeks later received a letter in regards to my injury. Diagnosis was -distal radius uni-cortical undisplaced fracture- (copied from the letter). Again in the letter was told to remove the splint at x time and was discharged. It's been 2 months now and the pain is just unbearable still! I can barely move my arm into certain positions without the most horrific pain shooting through my hand, wrist and arm.
Can anyone advise as to what I should do? Don't fancy seeing the GP for them to give me painkillers and send me away, or to wait weeks for an appointment. Equally don't want to go to a&e to take up time when someone else could be in need of that time. But I do think something is wrong.
I remember the second dr at clinic telling me it was such a tiny crack but how can such a small thing cause so much agony?!
Sorry for long post, felt like I needed to
Give all the details!
Hoping someone can guide me here!
