Suggest Treatment For Swelling On The Wrists
Question: The swelling and brushing is going down in my arm. However, where the injury impact took place about an inch passed my wrist there is still some swelling at the site. How long will this bump last and should I be concerned?Tender to touch, but not bad.
Brief Answer:
It can take another 7-10 days.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The swelling and bump should subside in another one week or so. In case the tenderness on pressing on the bump persists or there is a sudden sharp pain on certain movements then you can consider getting an X-ray done.
Do continue using the crepe bandage and avoid doing any heavy work with the affected arm.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
