Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Hand After Injury
We were doing warm ups with our coach during a game (volleyball). He was hitting the ball hard toward us. When it s my turn, I tried to get the ball with my right hand. And it hurts my wrist. It s been 3 days and it still hurts. Whenever I try to twist my hand to its left it hurts. I wave at people with my right hand with my palm facing the left cause I couldn t wave at them with my palm facing them. Is it only a sprain or is it fractured?

Hi,
It is better to get an X-ray done to know the exact reason and to rule out a fracture. Till then, take anti-inflammatory medicine, apply Diclofenac gel, apply ice pack and use crape bandage.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
