If anyone has had this injury.how long to heal up.
Can u still clean windows?
 

[erithwc]

how did u do that i thought you were wfp 

[deeege]

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

[windiewasher]

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.

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

[windiewasher]

its broke and in plaster but back in the morning to see whether i need it pinned together,

[deeege]

Ouch. Hopefully it won't need pinning.

[windiewasher]

That `s wrong and you shouldn`t be trying to move something in case it is broken.
Rest it Clee.
