My sister fell of a small pony and fractured her wrist once. She kept telling my mum how much it hurt, but my mum just thought she was being her usual dramatic self, gave her a can of coke and a bar of chocolate and told her to be quiet. On the way home the wrist started to swell and by the time they were nearly home it was about twice its normal size. My mum decided to make the short detour to the hospital "just in case"... this led to about 6 weeks of my sister saying "See? I TOLD you and you wouldn't believe me!"
I managed to injure my wrist in a non-riding accident today. A straw fork with a broken jagged handle fell off a bale of straw straight onto my wrist. I don't think I did any real damage but it bloody hurts! :/
