Just fess up that you lied. Is it really worth it to break your own wrist or thumb? I think not!

If you are not going to work and pretending to have been injured, then you could be deemed to be commiting an offence - basically, theft - you are taking your wages under false pretences - obtaining money by deception.
Not only will you get sacked, you could be taken to court for your employer to recoup his loss and you could get a criminal record.
So think on. If you have genuinely broken something, a letter from your doctor or surgeon should suffice - unless your manager is a doctor and can fully understand an x-ray.

I really don't encourage lying to your boss - you will eventually get caught no matter how careful you are!
However, I wouldn't break your bone just to get out of a lie. Because of HIPPA, your employer cannot demand to see the xray. All he can demand is a doctor's note saying that you are unable to work. He is allowed to call and verify with the doctor's office that they did write the note and that you are unable to work, but he is not allowed to get any information other than that.
Tell him tha because of HIPPA, you're running into problems with getting the xray, and you can't show it to him.

Well i cant undersatand why you want to fracture your arm,why not something else ? You will regret doing this,your fracture may not be a slight fracture if you try anything,you may need to have surgery and may have on going problems if the fracture is very displaced.You will be in a plaster cast up to 8 wks depending on the fracture,you will be very restricted what you can and cant do,bathing,driving,etc.So think about it first before you do something you will regret.

Your manager has no right to request to see the X-ray, but your clearly have been a sh*t liar. Say you will request a copy from the hospital and then just keep on blagging it. Last resort, go to your GP and get a sick note and "doctor" it, 'scuse the pun...

THe best thing to do is to develop RSI (repetitive strain injury). It doesnt show up on any scans or xrays, but the only cure is to rest it (and therefore take time off work).
I guenuinely have RSI, and it can come in handy at times!!

Easy, do not break your thumb or wrist, you will need them for the next step.
Write your resignation. Just quit. Stop working. Don't wait for your employer...
