Which Treatment Is Best For Hand Pain?

I was at a water park yesterday and instead of following a speed slide all the way down, I ended up flying off the slide where the side plateaued. I slammed down with the back of my arms hitting the sides of the slide, instantly making my hands and fingers tingling and somewhat numb. I wake up today and my palms are burning with pain. What can I do to better the situation?

Hello,

As what I understand by the history is that you had a fall and the initial symptom was a pain, tingling and burning sensation.

After a day the pain is restricted to hand region only.

This might be due to the nerve entrapment anywhere in its course of bodily movement. Having a physical examination should provide help.

Usually, in such cases, the initial part of treatment starts from medicine to rest and then exercise in later stages. Please don't ignore falls and meet up a physician if possible.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
