Sprained wrist and pain
Posted: 12-19-07 07:47am

okay...ive always gotten injured with sprained fingers,ankles,and anything possible,im the type that plays sports and is out of the house often,so im bound to break/injure my self more


anyways,we were playing football,and i went for a tackle,and as i fell,i fell on my wrist,and i got a sharp shooting pain,i couldnt move for around 5 minutes....i wrapped it up that night,thinking it was just a sprain...i had a wrist brace for about a week without seeking medical help

that was almost a year ago,now ever since school started,whenever i carry books or i do stuff ,sometimes,not everytime,i get a small pain in my wrist that doesnt stop me,but it sure can wake me up...i was wondering what are some things that might be going on,i dont want to see a doctor until im positive that something is really wrong...thanks

It doesn’t sound serious but without medical examination we can’t say how serious it is. Your symptoms (pain in the wrist) could be due to those previous wrist injuries. X-ray image and ultrasound examination of the wrist can be also requested. You can visit your GP, first.
