Hurt my wrist and arm, bandage or no bandage?!
Question:
Hurt my wrist and arm, bandage or no bandage?
As I was putting a heavy bag under the stairs next to my freezer I held it over thinking there was something underneath, there wasn't and my arm banged onto the edge of the freezer and I heard a crack I managed to put a bandage on only I was told not to, so shall I take it off? It's sore and there is a blue bruise in a line where I caught it, have put witch hazel on it.
Answers:
I would say leave the bandage off for now. Place an ice pack on the injury for fifteen minutes at a time, several times a day. Advil liquid gel capsules are fast acting for Pain . Take them four times a day. Do not use your hand and arm, let it rest.
if this does not feel better by tomorrow you should see your medical doctor for further treatment.
