Please Help, Wrist Injury!?!
Question: Please Help, Wrist Injury!.?
I sprained my wrist over 2 weeks ago playing football and it still hasn't healed. It's very weak and sore when I move it or lift anything. I'm a bodybuilder and not being able to lift is a blow to my daily activities and physically the rest of my body. How long will it take for my wrist to completely heal and feel 100% again.? What can I do to speed up the healing process without medication.? Thanks for all help, 10 points best answer!Health Question & Answer

Sprains can take anywhere from 2 weeks to a year to completly heal.
It all depends on your bodies ability to repair itself.
When you sprain your ligaments you are creating microscopic tears, for your wrist to heal, the ligaments need to mesh back together. The more stress you put on it the longer it takes for those ligaments to heal.
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation.
Do all of that for as long as you have the pain.
Even after it feels ok take it easy.
