Sprained wrist (medical advice)

[JAMSXR]

Yes I will go to a doctor if it carries on, but just wondered if anyone here could give me some advice?

I badly sprained my wrist just under 3 weeks ago playing 5-a-side. I first I thought it could be broken, but after a lot of ice I realized it was just badly sprained. Anyway almost 3 weeks on and the pain has almost completely gone, but over the last couple of days a numbness/pins and needles pain has started in the hand I sprained. It starts at the top of my little finger and goes down the side of my hand, the other fingers are fine it just seems to be affecting my pinky and the palm below it.

Does anyone know what this could be? Or do I just need to man up and get over it!

Well i would suggest swapping hands for wanking.

But like you say just man up its only a wrist you have another one.

Could be a trapped nerve in your neck/shoulder area - have you been holding the bars differently since your injury? I lost the feeling in my little and ring fingers on my left hand for a few weeks after an extended 90+mph blast on an unfaired bike. Saw a chiropractor, had a few adjustments and was given some neck exercises and I eventually regained the feeling.

Only been on the bike a couple of times since the injury due to it being too painful. Thanks for the info though, it didn't cross my mined that it could be a completely different part of my body causing the trouble.

Cheers

You just described the area of skin supplied by the ulnar nerve. There may be swelling around it or it may have become trapped.

Google reveals ulnar nerve entrapment to be known as cubital tunnel syndrome in humans.

Go see the doctor. Unfortnately, riding your motorbike will almost certainly make it worse

Used to have problems with Ulner on right hand, was caused by propping my elbow on the desk whilst at computer, little finger & ring numb and palm below them.

Ibobrufen for immediate relief, different seating position at work, problem solved

I broke a bone in my Wrist ( I forget which) in May last year. All healed up now bu tboth wrists now sprain as one's weak and the other is doing more work.

I tried swimming and powerballs etc. nothing works as far as I can tell other than ibuprofen gel and lashings of it.

Been to GP, had needles probed into my joints (without anasthetic) and an MRI scan done. all tendons are fine (this is of course according to the NHS). Wrists still bolloxed. Recently they have been better as I now mountain bike aswell and after initial pain they seem to have gotten stronger as with the rest of the muscle on my body. I've gained a total stone since January.. though all my good work will now be undone, I fear as I have food poisoning .

In short: go docs. they'll poke it. it'll hurt like fuck but you'll know if it's okay or not. Or start buying lots of supermarkets own brand ibuprofen gel. It rocks.
