Do I have a hairline fracture or a sprain?

[Anita_467]

I used to be quite athletic up until October when I quit Muay Thai in school. I recently started again in an MMA Studio and had my first class yesterday late afternoon. At around 11pm, I started getting a really bad bone ache in my right wrist which has had problems before in the scaphoid in 2014 but never gave me problems in 2015 while I was doing Muay Thai then. I didn't fall down or anything, and I was using gloves and handwrap a yesterday so my hands had as much protection as it could get. Currently the pain is around my wrist and when I try to bend my hand backwards, my forearm also starts to hurt. My forearm also hurts while typing on my phone when I move my thumb. The scaphoid itself isn't hurting too badly, but when I do the scaphoid test thing, it feels uncomfortable and nearly painful. Please someone tell me if I have a hairline fracture or a sprain because I have 3 exams in the next week and I can't write more than a few equations without taking a break because it hurts quite a bit! I don't want to waste money on a doctor unless I absolutely have to so...

This is not medical advice, and no one can tell without xrays, but if money is so tight you can't go to the doctor you might consider that the treatment is pretty much the same in both cases. No stress on the joint. No writing no punching etc. Until it heals.

I think you need an x ray so your going to have to just go

Don't quit the sport though I wish you the best of luck
