I would like to ask you a few things about hand swelling. Does it indicate hand fracture or not? I think I hit my hand last night on some party and now it is swelled in the wrist area. It hurts a bit, but nothing serious. And I cannot move it normally because of the swelling. Should I go see a doctor?

Well, that would not hurt at all, but I don’t think you have broken anything. It is also possible that you have strained a muscle, ligament or a tendon a bit too hard and the surrounding nerves reacted and thus came the swelling. There was some time after the time of injury, so it would hurt much more now, if it was broken. I think that you need an examination, just to hear some advices on treating that swelling.
