<s>[INST] I have not fallen on to my wrist but I did drag a heavy mattress down some stairs by myself. A couple of days after I started to have a severe pain in my left wrist which is getting worse by each day (now day 4). I find it hard to get to sleep and it wakes me up constantly. I am taking 400mg ibuprofen 3 times a day and rest and ice packs (told to by doctor). should I really go for an xray? [/INST] Dear Sir/MadamI have gone through your query and read your symptoms.In my opinion, the type of stress you are telling will probably need an MRI to ascertain any occult fracture and ligament injury. but still primary X Ray after consultation with an Hand surgeon is a must. I hope that answers your query. If your want any more clarification, contact me back.Dr Narender Saini </s>
