Dd1 hurt her arm, can't decide if it might be broken or not

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.

I would love a pair.

1.5 weeks in and DS2 has surprised me by not needing a visit to minor injuries due to our trampoline. I'd estimated 5 days. Especially as it currently has no enclosure on because they sent a smaller one.

You shouldn't have said that Suopy, because you know what is bound to happen now don't you.

Oh, it's only a matter of time, Nutty I'm merely surprised that my "Accident By" date has been and gone...

An accident of some sort is virtually inevitable. Probably sooner rather than later.
