Did I sprain my wrist?!


Question: I had a roller hockey game about 2 weeks ago, and I got tripped and landed straight down on my wrist. Ever since then, it hurts really bad when I bend it to the side or forward. Also it hurts pretty bad to push down on it. Also, the spot where it hurts is on the outside of my wrist just below my hand and above the bone there. I have an ACE bandage wrapped around it right now and that seems to hold it straight which lessens the pain.

Please go get x-rays. You may have a even a hairline fracture that can be dangerous if left.

Keeping it immobilized in the ACE wrap is good. Also ice it (bag of frozen peas usually works best!) up to 6 times a day for up to 20 minutes at a time. But please get x-rays.

Go to the Dr and they will x ray it. That is the only way to know if it is a soft tissue injury or bone.

you need to go to the er you reallly need an xray
