Injured wrist please help

Injured wrist please help

2 weeks ago i was messing around with some mates from footie and they all ran at me after i scored, knocked me down to jump on me, when i fell i put my arm out in front of me and my full weight and some of my mate weight went through my wrist.

I felt a sharpe pain go through my wrist which lasted for a couple hours, it eventually died down but instead of a sharpe pain it turned into an ache that hasn't gone away. It hurts on the inside of my wrist (thumb side not pinkie side) where theres like a gap that you can feel between the arm bones and beginning of the hand (if that makes sense). The pain is there all the time and increses when i try to use it.

It feels like iv done something more then just bruise or twist it because its gradually getting worse, iv broken my leg before and it kinda feels like that.

Im a lifeguard and am worried that this is affecting my work, also soeone at work suggested i might have injured my 'scaphoid bone' (spelt wrong) does this sound possible?

If anyone has any ideas please comment and help

Thanks

Could be yes, or even a ligament sprain/tear.

Get to the docs or walk in centre.
