sprained wrist? help!?!
Question: Sprained wrist? help!?
last night ma rightwrist started hurting when i moved it and i couldnt even do simple thins like fasten my bra or pull trousers on this morning
so this morning i put a temporary bandage on when i went to the stables.... it was awful there because i couldnt push a wheel barrow or open the gates, i was careful when mucking out and tok the strain of the leadropes when bringing them in with my left hand.
its in my inside right wrist joint and theres a vain thats showing more than the rest.....my thumbs hurting in certain movements, thres also a tender part on my hand and i got pins and needles in it earlier
my mums a nurse so she's put a better bandage on my wrist and hand to support it 'wich helps'
im just wondering ift is a sprain? and if i should leave the bandage 'support' on while i go to bed, or will it cut off circulation? its tightish but not too tight
thank you in advance

Answers:
Tensor bandages should be taken off a night. However, what you're describing sound more like a minor break than a sprain. Time to get yourself to a doctor for some xrays!

If you can remember when and how it started hurting, that would help in the identification of the problem.
From what the information provided, you have the symptoms of a muscle tear or a slight fracture.
