Suggest Medication For A Swollen Wrist Due To Sprain
i slipped on a rock and sprained my wrist two weeks ago. while the wrist improves daily, it is still swollen and stiff and sore. my elbow is fine and fingers are a bit swollen and stiff, but they move. the veiny side of mye wrist is most swollen and hard. i've been using various herbal treatments and ice, and wrapping it to ptotect it. i want an md to tell me this is normal and wonder how long til it's better? thanks and happy new year.
Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly thanks for using healthcaremagic site , I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..
In my opinion sprained wrists can cause tenosynovitis with stiffness it may take up to 2 to 3 weeks if it had no fissures or fractures . if swelling persists for more than 2 weeks i suggest Xrays and MRI to exclude bone injuries . For now stay massaging it , wear wrist supports or an arm sling , avoid heavy lifting and vigorous movements will help . if not visit your physician .
