Q: My daughter plays competitive soccer (11yrs old) and is the goalie for the team. She was kicked in the left wrist during the game and reaggravated it during practice. Now it has become a chronic throb and occasional numbness in her pinky finger. What is the best medical procedure for her now? She has never seen a doctor for the original injury. Thank you!

A: I recommend you see a hand specialist or orthopedic surgeon to determine the severity of the injury. It could be as simple as a bruised nerve that will recover or more serious such as a fracture or ligament tear.
