hi,i was on holidays two weeks ago with my girlfriend in orlando florida.we had been waiting for ages to go.first night there we went out and were both pretty steamed,we had met some couples.anyways in one of the bars was a boxing machine,so we all went hell for leather at that 1 by 1.anyways on about my third attempt,i gave it my all.i instantly knew i hurt sumthing but said nothing.i was pretty drunk anyway so i dint feel it much.next day i woke up my wrist was stiff as hell,swollen and very bruised even up my arm.i pretty much knew i broke/sprained and possably tore a tendon,but didnt want to make a big deal over it cos my girlfriend really needed the holiday,so i just went to a shop on my own and bought a thing that is pretty much like a cast,but more tidy and trendy :D ,americans have everything.so i monitored it and took care of it alot for days(on the quiet) its not really a painful injury only when "used". so wasnt TOO bad to conceal.anyway two weeks on,there is no swelling and what was once pretty bad bruising is a faint faint picture.however i am still concerned about my wrist.i think i may have broken the "scaphoid" bone in my wrist.now i wud have no problems in takeing care of this break myself without going to a hospital,however,i have heard there can be some complications due to blood flow if left "untreated" proffesionally.i guess my question is, has this happened to anyone else? did it heal on its own? were their any complications? i really cant afford the medical care right now and i like to " suffer" in silence as not to burden ppl
