Something wrong with my wrist?!


Question: Something wrong with my wrist.?
Okay, yesterday in gym I fell. Of course as an automatic reaction I put my arm out to catch my fall, and ended up landing on my wrist. Now it's swollen all the way around my wrist and up my pinkie.

I can move it, but it's really painful. My fingers - except my pinkie - are fine.

Is there a fracture, sprain, torn ligament ....?Health Question & Answer

You definitely sound like you are injured. Wait another day, and if you find the swelling and pain is still there. I highly recommend you visit a doctor.

Here are some things you can do:
-elevate your wrist
-put your hand in a lukewarm water bath with epsom salt
-put ice on it (not directly but wrap around some cloth or some material so there is no direct skin contact with the ice)Health Question & Answer

I'm no doctor.. but didn't you just go see a doctor.? Didn't the doctor say anything about it.?


DURRRRR!




haha, I wouldn't rely on some of the answers on Yahoo! sometimes, they can be incorrect.. trust the professionals ;) (no offense to everyone who answered, you might be right but, just to make sure)

I bet it's just a sprain.. but then again what do I know.?

Health Question & Answer

It could be any or all of the above. First signs of a fracture: pain, swelling, stiffness. In about a day or two the black and blue sets in. Most people think it has to be black and blue right off the bat to mean a brake...not true!

Honestly, if you are not sure, please get it x-rayed. Broken bones are nothing to ignore.Health Question & Answer

If you can move it, is probably a sprain or torn ligament.
fracture = not movable & extremely painfulHealth Question & Answer
