I think I may have on Friday. I was trying to put stuff away in the pantry and jars started falling and while I was trying to catch them, one slammed down on the top of my hand. It hurt so bad initially that I nearly barfed. I couldn't breath, wouldn't move. It hurt like a mo fo. The pain subsided, so I figured it wasn't broken. It didn't swell, didn't discolor. I thought it was fine. But now, it's 4 days later and my wrist hurts and is tingling and a couple of my fingers hurt, too. The top of my hand still isn't swollen, but a yellow bruise is starting to show. It's not a huge deal, I can obviously still work/type/function, but I'm just wondering what the crap is happening. James thinks it's a hairline fracture.

I don't know. I'm nervous that my doctor would be like, "Um, you're a huge baby. Take an ibuprofen." And then laugh when I left and write something about how absurd I am on my chart.

Better safe than sorry! It would be really bad if something was broken and it healed incorrectly.

Go get an x-ray for peace of mind. You may need to wear a brace or have it immobilized to have it heal. It's probably not broken, but it could be - and if you don't get a picture, you'll never know.

I know you're being TIC, but that is totally not true. LOL We don't do that - only with crazy people.

Doctor's don't tell you that you are being a baby, and we only laugh when you're far gone and will never know. I might chart something funny like that, but probably not your doc.

Want me to take a look at it?
Thanks for offerring, but there is nothing to see. There is a super faint bruise, and there is no SERIOUS pain, but I feel it through my hand and it's...weird.
