The beginning…

I fell on my outstretched right hand while bushwalking on January 3rd. It hurt quite a bit at he time and immediately became swollen. I had to drive the car back home, using one hand, and had to wait until the next morning to see my GP.

I bandaged my hand for the night but didn’t get a lot of sleep.

MY GP sent me to have an X-Ray, neither the radiologist nor my GP saw the fracture.

Three weeks later, the pain and swelling hadn’t gone down so I went back to my GP who sent me to have another X-ray. This time the radiologist diagnosed a distal radius fracture.
