Area around scaphoid hurts
I injured my wrist 3 weeks ago. Nothing was detected on the initial xray. 2 weeks from the injury I removed the splint for another xray and doctor's pressure test. Before this test, the scaphoid area only used to hurt when I bent my wrist but after the doctor put pressure on it to analyze it started hurting even when my hand is at complete rest. It has been 5 days since that pressure test and it still gives a constant burning sensation. Is it possible that the doctor might have caused this?
What did the second Xray show? Subtle fractures of scaphoid may not be visible on initial Xrays. It's not possible to have been caused by the doctor....... its injury related
Next Steps
If still in doubt & problem is persisting get an MRI done
