Wrist hurt hitting pot hole

[Cowsham]

In torrential rain on a very wet road where puddles covered a massive pot hole I hit a few days ago I counted myself lucky not to have come off the bike or had any damage done, or so I thought.

The next day my right wrist felt slightly sore lifting some light stuff but I couldn't remember hurting it.

Two days later in the evening it the pain increased steadily till it got to the point I could hardly bear the weight of my own hand.

Today the pain is subsiding a little and was able to drive the car and only now I'm thinking it must have been that pot hole when my hands were on the hoods. The pain is mostly concentrated where my trapezoid and scaphoid bones sit at the top side of hand/wrist.

Anyone ever had this happen?

Just remembered I gave one of my sons a lift into his house with a new double length shower enclosure ( a big heavy bit of glass ) so there was weight pulling down on that wrist at some point during last night before the real pain set in. Didn't sleep last night all that well either.

Have you had it X-rayed?

No but I think the jolt from the unexpected pot hole caused a small injury between the bones or ligaments then the pulling on the wrist by carrying the heavy glass had exasperated the injury. Felt a bit like a swollen tendon but I think it's not all that serious cos it's getting much better now. Strength returning. Not nearly as tender and sore.

This is a good point.You do not know the extend of hidden damage.

I think I do -- I was lifting weights with it today -- I think it was a soft tissue injury but eventual swelling pressing on a nerve or something resolved itself. All good now -- just weird how delayed the pain was ( I've had similar in the past )

I know this was very minor compared to any of your frequent breakages.
