A: Dude. Read this very carefully. GO TO THE DOCTOR. this problem will not go away by itself. it will only get worse and every day that you wait your likely hood for a full recovery shrinks. ou are making a decision that will affect the rest of your life. I am the voice of experience here. I broke my wrist in the summer of 2003. I was 20 years old and thought i would tough it out. 8 months later i finally went to the doctor and it required surgery and a bone graft from my hip. it healed up but always stayed a little sore. now hear i am five years later and yesterday i feel at work, and the same bone is broken again. i have spent 4 years building a career as a plumber, but now the doctors are telling me that i will never be able to work with my left hand again. if i had gone to the doctor immediately who knows how much better off i would be today. i know that it probably seems like a lot of money to go to the doctor and all of that, but you need to go. you will figure out the money. you can always make more money but you can not grow another wrist.
