10 Broken Wrist Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #2: Pain in the Wrist
Pain in the wrist is one of the most common broken wrist symptoms. This is obvious because a fracture is a serious injury to the bone and probably other tissues including tendons and cartilage. If the fracture is very severe, the pain may be extremely severe. Besides pain, other symptoms like swelling and tenderness may also occur.
To make the injured person a bit more comfortable, you may provide some over-the-counter pain relief medication such as ibuprofen. It is necessary to get the patient to an emergency department as soon as possible, especially where the fracture seems serious by the physical look of it.
