Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Pain In Wrist
I have a weak wrist as for the past 2 years have managed to fracture the same one! Last night I helped lift a heavy rabbit hutch when I felt something go in my wrist, it was very painful, I took ibuprofen did the ice and elevation trick but this morning my wrist is very swollen and badly bruised?

Hi, you need screening of your wrist, and the first step out is to get an X Ray done, once its clear that there is no bony injury, the treatment becomes very different, but if you have any bony injury than usually the treatment is surgery and the period of rehabilitation may extend to months, usually 6 to 8 months.
Do not delay, as delaying not only lets change in the treatment but the results of treatment also becomes poor.
Take care
