Wrist injury

[Hudson]

Yesterday I had a guy murder my wrists with blocks, must of been some Iron Forearm or something. Anyway, now I have this pain in my wrist if I try to do a pushup or walk on my hands... what kind of injury is this? I hope it goes away before next class.

Unfortunetly with your wrist it can be quite a number of problems. I had a similar experience many years ago, and to this day, if the weather is just so, I still feel a sharp pain... too the point where I can't do much with it, no push-ups, I can't even pick up a bottle of water without it hurting. The rest of the time, I don't feel a thing.

 

Most likely, after taking a pounding like that, its probobly just inflamed, take some ibuprofin, use some ice on it, and don't push it to hard for a few day. If the pain doesn't go away fairly quickly, then you will want to see a doctor. There are several small bones in your wrist, and if you broke one, which ultimately is what I did, then you'll want to have that taken care of correctly. I didn't go to the doctor about ym wrist until years later, and I think that has something to do with why I still feel pain from time to time.

I'd recommend that you see a doctor or other healthcare professional. Also, use the R-I-C-E method of treatment -

 

Rest

 

Ice

 

Compression

 

Elevation

 

Rest it, put ice on it, strap it up and keep it rested on something as much as possible.

Yeah go see a doctor.....

I'll probably hold on the doctor trip. It feels fine now, it was probably just bruised.
