What damage can be done if you dislocate your wrist and don't go to the doctor straight away?

Its been 2 weeks since I dislocated my wrist nd whenever I use it, it’s painful on the scale of 7/10 sometimes 9/10. I need help going to A&E soon but I wana know if anyone knows the possibilities of the damage I’ve caused.

Answer #1

the wrist we swell if not properly put in place and the pain is going to be unbearable the next day so i think u shuld see a doctor.

Answer #2

Well a dislocation assuming you set it correctly SHOULD be ok. however you may have a hair line fracture or pulled muscle or tendon. the best thing to do especially if it’s still hurting bad 2 weeks later is go see a doctor because if you do have a fracture or pulled muscle or tendon then you could be doing more damage by not having it in a cast or sling in which case the more time goes by the more damage you could do.

Answer #3

swelling may occur if you dont get any medical attention it will get bad as time goes on
