[|Human|] I think I have injured my wrist. I need to know what I can do currently for it and if you know what I may have done to it. Ok so at the beginning of december of 2011 I was ice skating on a school field trip. I fell 3 times and the third and last time I fell it hurt the most. I landed on my wrist and it hurt ALOT. Anyway I hurt it at the base of my hand and the beginning of my wrist. It s close to the end of Jan. now it still hurts as bad as it did when I fell on it. The funny thing is, is that it s not swollen at all or maybe a little bit. (I don t know how to tell if it s swollen or not) It only hurts when I put a little bit of pressure on it. For example my schoolbag is a messenger bag and it gets very very heavy at times and just a little bit of heavy at other times. Anyway I can pick it up a little bit when it s over my shoulder, but I can t carry it, no matter how heavy it is, at all. I tried using ice to see if it would help and it didn t help really. I decided to try the rice treatment and the only thing that helped was the ace bandage. My friends say it might be fractured but if it was it would be swollen and I wouldn t be able to use it right? My 2nd cousin says it might be mildly sprained. I can t go to the doctors for x-rays because my parents are teachers and they are paying for my sisters college right now so they don t really have the money to pay for x-rays, and besides it s been over a month since I fell on my wrist so it s a little late for x-rays right? So anyway what do yall think it is? Thanks
[|AI|]  Hello, The symptoms seem to be related to a sprained wrist. I suggest doing an X-ray to exclude the possibility of a fracture. Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain.  I also suggest using a brace to prevent further damage to the wrist. Ice compresses can help to relieve the pain.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
