An mri for a bruised wrist? I had a 'green stick' fracture on my right

When I was 38 I crushed the same wrist with 6 breaks. That required no
surgery, a few X-rays and set.


I've never heard of an mri for a bruised wrist at all...

I agree. I've had broken bones in foot, hand and arm. Never an MRI.
Sounds like an 'embellishment' to me. But then, the whole episode
sounds like an embellishment to what was probably something like this:

I saw a guy and a woman having an argument. I drove off. While driving
I thought up a good story for rec.boats.

Amen.

Some wrist breaks are harsh to see on an X-ray.
