After getting hit by a car a week ago, my left wrist is still slightly swollen and painful despite a normal X-ray and applying Volini and Moov; what next steps should I take, and do I need to see a local doctor?
Persistent swelling and pain after a week can indicate a soft tissue injury, such as a wrist sprain or ligament stretch, which does not show up on a standard X-ray. Since you are still experiencing discomfort despite using Volini and Moov, it is highly recommended to see a local doctor or orthopedic specialist. They can physically evaluate your wrist to rule out ligament tears. For now, please rest your wrist, apply ice packs for 15 minutes a day, and keep it elevated to help ease the swelling.
