Damaged Hand
On Monday 16th July, during an exercise class, I hurt my hand whilst breaking my fall.
I wrapped it with a cold compress as soon as possible, but wasn't able to see a Doctor until Friday 20th, due to being ill the following days after the injury.
The Doctor was concerned I may have fractured it, and told me to go to A&E for an xray. I did as told, but the nurse there said she didn't think it was a fracture, and sent me home.
Now, two weeks later, my hand still hurts and doesn't feel any better
