is it a sprain or a break? PLEASE HELP!

[daisym6]

so i was at basketball practice and then i was pushed/fell over. It hurts alot!!!
i can type but it hurts sometimes. its a little puffy on the top it hurts on both sides on botom and on top i cant twist it or put ANY wait on it. it also hurts in the arm. i dont want to go to a docter and find out that i only need to wrap it ice it etc so please answer is it a break sprain fracture strain or what? should i play basketball? (it's on my right/writing hand) (i can write very lightly)

You won't be going to the doctor for no reason. You'll be going to find out what's wrong. How on earth can you expect anyone here to tell you what you've done?

[daisym6]

ok so my mom thinks its just a sprain but i think its more grrr now i dont think im going in so give me some facts that will show its more than a sprain

[daisym6]

naomie im not i just want to see the idea of what i probably did

[daisym6]

alright any body think its a sprain? i mean i really dont want to go to the docter to find out that all i have to do is what i'm doing now i mean what a wast of time! so please just give me an idea of whats wrong

[chrissa1]

If you had fractured it or broken it you would be in agony, and I mean agony everytime you moved it. Trust me, I know.
Sounds like a sprain but get it checked.

[x-ray]

My advice is get an x-ray

[daisym6]

my mom doesnt think i need to go she says theres nothing they can do for a sprain. but she doesnt even know if it is a sprain i mean it could me a break grr i wish she would listen to me

[daisym6]

i want to get an x ray but my family doesnt think i need it

[naomi24]

Gosh, this sounds rather familiar!

For heavens sake, just take the advice of most of the people here and go and get it checked by someone who can see it and knows what they're talking about.

[daisym6]

ugh i want to BUT I CANT DRIVE!!!!! just saying other wise i would have gone a long time a go

[RATTER15]

Troll!!!!. If this aint a wind up i'll eat my hat!!!!

[daisya]

Methink you're right Ratter!

[daisym6]

is that an insult remember "i'm american! i'm also a kid so be nice to me! :D

[fliptheswitch]

I think you should get a grip! Seriously, you obviously haven't broken or fractured it. As others have said, you'd been in absolute agony if you had. Never mind driving, you wouldn't be able to sit here typing!
Take some painkillers and go to bed.

[naomi24]

So first you didn't want to go to a doctor only to find out that it needed an ice wrap - and now you can't go because you don't drive. Mmmm...........

Ratter we have established that daisym6 is in the USA, it seems the cost of a doctors appointment and an X-ray is a problem.
There is a second post in a similar vein , looks like she is a child and mum and dad don't think an x ray is justified !

[naomi24]

Eddie, I can't see where she's said that the cost is an issue. On the other thread she's asking what colour cast she should go for.

[daisym6]

i said nothing about a cost and getting an impontment is not a problem so i guess i shoudnt have mentioned that i was in the USA because that seems like a problem. justified really? i mean its not that my mom and dad do think its justified my sister had a whole bunch done and i thought this was a good site but you guys seem to have something against USA ive always wanted to go there.

[daisym6]

color cast... just in cass im a kid im new here i wanted to ask a question no problem

[ummmm]

You've always wanted to go where?
