I had a situation with my 10 yr old son. He wrecked on his motorcycle, and hurt his hand. We went to my doctor. They took xrays, and never showed them to me. Then they sent me to a specialist with the x-rays in hand. That Dr. showed me the x-ray, and all that was wrong was the pinky knuckle that connects to his hand was ever-so-slightly moved over. The specialist said that he should wear a temp. cast for several weeks. He also mentioned that it would all straighten itself out, because he is still growing.
So it's better to have things happen when they're young. I hope the x-ray shows nothing, and it's just still inflammed! |
