Ow...

This is weird, but I've done something to my left wrist and it's not getting better though I've been icing it all day. It's making typing very awkward - and painful if I try to use both hands. I think I'm going to have to get it looked at up the hozzy tomorrow if it's still this painful - especially as I've gone and worried myself by googling all the possible little bones in there I could have mysteriously cracked in my sleep last night.

Not helped by Paul telling me I might have osteoporosis. Thanks a bunch, Mr Bleeding Eeyore!

If you have an Ace bandage handy, try wrapping it firmly (but not too tightly) overnight-- might prevent further aggravation, and even allow you to type. (You could even use a scarf in lieu of bandage).It might not be anything serious, but just an ergonomic type of thing, like repetitive stress, and a little rest and some tips on how to sit/hold your hands while typing might be all you need. good luck! <3

yeah, ergonomic was my first guess, but I duuno now. It's been wrapped all day (as well as the ice) and it's actually hurting more now than when it woke me up this morning. *sigh*

BOOO. It does sound like a sprain or pulled muscle or something. You may need to type one-handed for awhile. Sorry, dear. <3 Hope the docs can help.

Well, that was helpful Paul, not! lol! *hugs gently* go get it checked, but it's probably a sprain of some kind, you've twanged something you shouldn't have! Let us know how it goes though, okay!!

Try wrapping it in a bandage overnight to stop any more damage and hopefully by tomorrow the pain might have subsided!

How's it feeling today hun?

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

It's definitely getting better - I reckon I scared it into submission by taking it to A&E! LOL

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

Owwww, and what did they say? lol!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Contusion on the tendon - i'd better do a quick update, hadn't I!

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

Probably a good idea, lol! Oh hun that sounds PAINFUL! Make sure you take care!

[chomaisky.livejournal.com]

Hope it's not a serious problem... Hugs!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

so do I - well, even if I've cracked a bone that isn't actually serious. Just inconvenient. I just don't know what I've done coz I haven't fallen over or anything. It might just be one of those 24 hour pains I get sometimes.

[ramblin_rosie]

This is counterintuitive, but since cold and support aren't helping, might you try heat instead? That tends to help me more often than not. (Of course, right now it's too hot here to even consider that option....)

Do you do that thing I do, which OH describes as turning myself into a coiling cobra? I wrap my arms around the spare pillow, with the elbows, wrists, and fingers all in a spiraling coil--and I turn my feet in at the ankles, too. Part koala--or sloth, more like.

I hope it's only a strain, or minor RSI. Even so, I know it's annoying, and I do hope it's something minor and easily treated.

Ick, that's no fun. :( Hoping it starts clearing itself up on its own, or the doctor can diagnose/offer a fix right off. Love you, and best wishes! <3

oh no! Maybe get a gel rest for your wrists for when you type?
Feel better soon!

[ephermeralk.livejournal.com]

Bummer :( Hope it feels better soon! There's not much to be done for hand sprains besides take your anti-inflammatory drugs and ice on and off.

I hope to hear good news soon!

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

I'd get it checked out if I were you. Better safe than sorry, and all that. I hope it gets better soon.

[big-heart-june.livejournal.com]

Ack, BB! :(( I too agree with getting it checked out. Hope it hurts less today and that it'll get better soon ♥♥

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Boo!
Hope it feels better soon x
