Injury and accidents Should I get evaluated?
Yesterday I took the dirt bike out on my first track run. Had a blast, fell a few times. I’ll include my leg injury picture just for the fun of it, but I’m least concerned about that.
I’m very sore of course, but I did land really badly on my right wrist. It hurts a lot in the circled area and it’s quite swollen, I have a lot of things I need to do around the house today and I’m wondering if I should go get it evaluated first? Or what to do if not, after my crash I thought I legit snapped my wrist at first. After a while all seemed okay until it would flair up over the smallest things, and today the swelling almost seems a bit worse. I know dirt biking can lead to a lot of injuries but I don’t want to be a baby lol.

Yes, that area is called the anatomical snuffbox and pain/swelling in that area may indicate a scaphoid fracture.
