Ok I know that it'll be me deciding and everything. But, I'm not sure. The nurse has left it to my parental instincts but they tend to not always work.
DD age 3 was at toddler group and the helper lady was swinging her around by her wrists and she suddenly started screaming. An hour later and she was still sobbing and wouldn't let go of it, any slight movement made her scream.
I took her to the drs and saw the nurse who managed to move it around and she can move all her fingers. She said that it's not obviously broken or dislocated, and is probably just a bad strain, but there are lots of little bones and one could be broken - but it was up to me as it may not be, and to decide by 3pm what i want to do. I have no car, dp would have to come home, find someone to look after dd1, it's 45 mins to hospital. Would go in a flash if i thought it was, of course, but i have no idea and she made it sound fairly unlikely.
So, my longwinded question is, swinging round, is it likely or possible to have fractured a little bone? How can I tell? Would a strain be this bad?
She's sitting very still with it on her lap and won't move it or let me touch it, and as i come into the room she says 'no, mummy, stay over there!!'.
