Possible broken/fractured wrist?!


Question:

Possible broken/fractured wrist?

i slipped in the kitchen and caught myself with my hand, (i thought it might be sprained but can you have a compression sprain) (I thought it might be jammed because it does hurt to turn or pull it)
What do you think?


Answers:

A wrist wouldn't be jammed. It could be sprained, fractured (broken). If there is swelling and it hurts a lot to move it, I would certainly get it checked out. In the mean time, ice it as much as you can and if you are in pain, take tylenol or something. If you have an ace bandage lying around, or in a med kit, use it to compress your wrist.
Good luck!
