A guitar fell on my wrist near the ulna. It has swollen now. Are there any chances of this causing a fracture to the bone?

I hope by now u must have gone for diagnosis that it fracture or not. If it is dont worry at all u must have been plastered what I suggest do visit a qualified and registered physiotherapist nearby for learning exercises during cast so that u can avoid post cast stiffness. If its not a fracture than it must be sprain or strain in that case physiotherapist will provide u full treatment kindly visit one.

The affected area needs to be clinically checked. If features are suggestive of bony injury, then x-rays will be needed.
