Wrist Injury

paddymorrison · 2008-01-21 12:20:03

I was really stupid this morning. I didn't bother to wear my slippers and guess what, I fell down the stairs! I am fine, except my right wrist. I don't know what happened exactly. But my arms hit the floor and there must have been some impact on the wrist. It's okay if I don't move it, but it hurts even if I hold a bottle…

I was really stupid this morning. I didn't bother to wear my slippers and guess what, I fell down the stairs! I am fine, except my right wrist. I don't know what happened exactly. But my arms hit the floor and there must have been some impact on the wrist. It's okay if I don't move it, but it hurts even if I hold a bottle of milk. What should I do? Will it heal itself? Or should I see a doctor? I guess there's not much training I can do now, ugh! I can do some leg exercises I guess. What do you guys think?

Cheers.

Go to the doctor, safest thing to do.

Agreed - get to the GP. One of the things that needs to be ruled out is a break of one of the wrist bones. It may just be a sprain or strain, but if it's a break, it's important to catch it early.
