I once went to work with a fractured wrist for 8 months after four times going to Hospital in agony and they said it was a sprain, at the 5th time going to A&E they eventually X-rayed it and told me I had a piece of Bone floating about and I had to have an operation to have the Trapezium Bone removed, and I was a Sheet Metal Worker so a lot of lifting and using my hands, so it can be the same with footballers if it isn’t too painful, mine was a fracture that eventually broke away.
