Suggest Treatment For Arm And Wrist Pain

I was putting my Christmass tree up last night and it was raining. We were under the car port. I tried showing off and I kick my leg up (bad idea) and fell foward. I put both hands out or I waould have landed on my face. Now my wrist hurt and my left arm is in pain but I don t think nothing is broken. What can I do to make it better?

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

Immobilization and some ice packs for a couple of days would help in this situation. If you can not move it, or it is red color, I would recommend going to the ER for an X ray study. In the meantime, ibuprofen can help against the pain.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
