Wrist injury
August 07, 2013, 09:07:47 am
Hi,

I came off my bike last Monday and landed prety hard on my wrist, didnt noticethe pain for a while cause i was hyped on adrenalin from a scufle with somekiddies who robedmy bike straight after. Wen i got home i was in a lot of pain, had no ROM and it swole up big. i left it a few hours but the pain became unbarable, n my mate convinced me to hospital.
Done that, no breaks. they gave me a splint and told me rest and ibuprofen.
I'm off to font satrday, so i got straight online looin up ways to speed up healin - guesin its a sprain. hav been doin hot/cold treatment 3 times a day - 1 minute ice water, 4 minutes hot water, repeat 4 times (20minutes) takin ibuprofen, and wearin the splint. ova the last week the pains gone from stopin me sleepin to a small pain along the the thum side of my hand and the wrist beneath it.
Im still doin all the same stuff, but was wonderin if anyone knos anything that mite speed up the healin? idealy aiming to be able to climb sunday

Was this clearly ruled out? I wouldn't bother with hot water btw, just cold.
