Broken arm or wrist

Seek medical attention promptly if you suspect you have a broken arm or wrist. It's important to address any potential fractures without delay. Signs that you may have a break include sudden pain following an injury, along with possible changes in colour, shape, or numbness. Distinguishing between a broken, dislocated, or severely sprained wrist can be challenging, and an X-ray will likely be necessary for an accurate diagnosis.
