Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swelling in hands and wrists along with pain . A sprain is a stretching or tearing of ligaments . A sprain occurs when you overextend or tear a ligament while severely stressing a joint. I would suggest you to take proper rest , do icing for 15-20 minutes daily , tie a crape bandage and kee it elevated while lying down . You can take signoflaam . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order x-ray or MRI to confirm the diagnosis to rule out fracture or more severe injury . Doctor may recommend physical therapy or surgery .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
