When to Call the Doctor
Contact your doctor if you experience:
-
Hand or wrist pain and swelling that lasts longer than a few days or becomes worse
-
Delays in diagnosis and treatment can lead to poor healing, reduced range of motion and long-term disability
Go to a Riverside emergency room if:
-
Your pain is severe
- Your hand or wrist looks misshapen
- Bone protrudes through your skin
- You have been bitten by an animal and have deep puncture wounds or torn skin. Because of the complexity of the hand, bite wounds can be serious
