Sorry to hear that they missed the bones in the hand on the initial X-ray. Try also to keep it elevated above the level of your heart as that will help reduce the swelling .And yes I am a Registered Nurse with 30 years experience behind me. I just do photography now rather than nursing. It's a long story...photobod wrote: Update - I have had the hand x-rayed and apparently there are two broken bones in my hand as well, they were not spotted on the first x-rays, so thanks for all your suggestions and help, I am now on extra strong pain killers and I just have to rest the hand as much as I can, difficulkt as I am left handed and it is the left hand that is damaged, looks like photography is off the cards for a while, which will drive me insane.
