So just as the title says really.

I whacked my wrist hard last night, the pain was bad, it shot up my arm, and into my hand.

Its so weird, wrist looks fine and doesnt hurt that much, the main pain is in my hand and my fingers are a tiny bit swollen and a little numb...

Elbow hurts and pain in my shoulder....

Have i just shocked the whole arm ?

I dont think i need to go anywhere, especially not on a bank holiday weekend but just curious really

there are lots of bones in the wrist.
sounds like the bang affected the tendon running through.
go and get seen, bank holiday or not, the use of the hand and arm is very important,

When i push on one finger it hurts elsewhere in the hand.
When i push on another finger, it causes pain in my shoulder ....

Arm / hand feels very swollen, but its not.
Really weird feeling

Swollen nerves and broken wrist.

In a splint for now but may be in a cast for 6 months when i go back to fracture clinic

Oh my goodness. Hope it doesn't end up being quite as long as that.

ouch
hope you get full use back soon.
do make a physio appointment once the cast is off. it will help immensely.
