Is tingling feeling normal after broken bones?
Patient: Hi, Umm i recently gotten hurt at work and sent to the ER. They did xrays no broken bones but they said i have a contusion on the top of my hand where i had it smashed at. It has gotten progressivily worse over the last 48 hrs sending pains down to my elbow and tingling feeling that wont go away. Normal? Doctor: hi i have read your description of injury and now it is causing pain uotp elbow and tingling sensation . your x rays are normal. It is quite possible that you have soft tissue injury at the wrist causing swelling inside the wrist joint. In my clinic I would advise , splintage ( Immobilization of wrist ) to reduce further damage to soft tissues due to movement , prescribe pain killers and rest ( For The affected hand) for 2-3 weeks.
