Suggest Treatment For Severe Wrist Pain And Arm Pain
While tightening down a swridt crew, my hubby heard a pop in his wrist. He instantly said it really hurt, and he was holding his arm. He is a stubborn man, and now says it is okay. However, he is babying it, and I know he is in pain. What could possibly be wrong, and should I take him to be seen?

Hi,
Thanks for your Query
your husband seem to have injured a ligament in his wrist.
He should :
1. apply ICE PACKS 4-5 times a day
2.use a wrist splint to give rest to the injured ligament
3. take rest,avoid using his affected arm as little as possible
4 .take antiinflammatory like ibuprofen for 5-7 days
hopefully it should improve in 10-14 days.
