Suggest Treatment For Swelling In My Wrist
When practicing softball, a ball came straight at me and I swatted and reached over my body to get the ball. Instead of hitting the glove, it hit the side of my wrist and it is swollen, black and blue and has little marks in the middle of the bruise. My hand tingles, but I can move it frontwards and backwards with little to no pain. It did not hit the bone on the wrist so want to know if I should be concerned. Or if I should wait a little longer, it happened 3 days ago.

Hello,
The pain with swelling indicates a soft tissue injury. There can be ligament tear or a tendon injury also. It is best to get an MRI scan done to find the extent of injury that you have suffered.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Praveen Tayal, Orthopedic Surgeon
