Fell And Injured Wrist On Marble Table. Ignored Pain. Wrist Hurts, With Pressure Feels Needle Pricking. Recommendations?

Hi,

I hurt my wrist quite badly on a marble breakfast bar, as I hit it on the corner when I slipped over... It caused me a lot of pain at the time and I did not seek any medical help, however it's now over a year since I hurt it and my wrist still hurts when I apply pressure to it, and I also get a pins and needle sensation going through my hand when I do apply pressure, do you know why this may be?

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Rosie

Hi Rosie, came to know about your wrist Injury , In my opinion in your wrist you may have hair line fracture at the time of Injury in your carpel bones or might be slight dislocation of carpel bones, therefore I like to suggest you Hot saline bath for your carpel region regularly morning and evening and also you give rest to your wrist by applying wrist band continuously for the period of 3-4 weeks. also you should take B1 B6 B12 tabs regularly for 1-2 months to improve your pin pain sensations in your wrist. Hope you will be relieved of your problem . take care and be happy .
