Symptom #9: Discoloration

A broken wrist can also cause skin discoloration on the affected site. Skin color usually darkens in addition to other broken wrist symptoms like pain and swelling. Discoloration happens due to the damage caused by the injury and is a sign of bruising, even where it may not be visible.

Discoloration usually occurs during a fall as you try to support yourself on an outstretched hand. If the discoloration is not accompanied by pain, deformation, weakness, or swelling, you are probably free of a fracture and may not need treatment. However, where some of these other symptoms are also present, you need to visit a hospital or a clinic for assessment and treatment.
