Is this a serious injury and what might have snapped or popped?
Patient: I was holding a pole on the bus and the driver made a sudden stop that made me yank on the pole to keep front falling. I felt a snap or pop on the top of my hand and it s tender to just the area and hurts when I try to lift something with weight to it. Is this a serious injury and what might have snapped or popped?? Doctor: it could have caused a bone fissure that needs an xray done to rule it out..do not worry but start with ice packs and rest..and get an xray done.
