how did u do that i thought you were wfp ???

Did the same thing last winter. Fortunately I only sprained my wrist though. Get it xrayed and go from there. I was ok after a couple weeks but a fracture will be 3 to 6 weeks to heal enough to be able to work.
How did you fall? Not from ladders I hope?
-
can u move ur hand and fingers, if not then u prob broke ur wrist, if you can it is probably just brused, but u wont be working to day, if broken, depends on where it is broken and if then plaster it up, weather u can work or not

I can move my fingers and.move my ARM
Was cleaning with a squeegee and fell on my hand straight infront of a car.tripped up a bollard.
Gutted.looks like I will be using a wagtail for a while.can u move ur hand and fingers, if not then u prob broke ur wrist, if you can it is probably just brused, but u wont be working to day, if broken, depends on where it is broken and if then plaster it up, weather u can work or not

if you have a broken wrist or broken hand, you may experience these signs and symptoms:
* Severe pain that tends to increase during gripping or squeezing
* Swelling
* Tenderness
* Bruising
* Obvious deformity, such as a bent wrist or crooked finger
* Stiffness or inability to move your finger or thumb
* Numbness or coldness in your finger or thumb
i would rest it today

Rest it Clee.
