After the amount I've dealt with the nhs the past few years I'm not supprised, I caught my doctor searching on google last week after admitting she didn't really know..
I kinda thought 'I coulda done that'...
But yes for stuff that is obvious like a swollen wrist, i would go to the doc first. Although they will more than likely diagnose it as a swollen wrist and give you some paracetamol.. so yet again you have already worked this one out yourself..
I'd put some frozen peas on it and leave it a few hours if and it's still sore go to the hospital for xrays.
*NOTE I am not a medical proffesional, I've just had to deal with them for far too long!*
