How do you know if you have a sprained wrist or a broken wrist?
First of all, X-ray is the best way to see if you have broken or sprained wrist. If you can't get a X-ray cause you don't have insurance like me and cannot check to the hospital, see if your wrist swells. If it does, yes it's broken. Not too swelled or not swelling at all? Not broken, and maybe sprained. And even if your bones are broken, it'll grow back united, so don't panic too much. Get a towel/cloth and soak it with cold water and wrap it around your injured wrist. I recommend not to do it in warm/hot water, since your injury can heat up and swell. If you have a white cloth, wrap it around your wrist and let it heal. This should pretty much have your wrist back to normal.
Is it possible to break your wrist without realizing it is broken?
Yeah you could have broken it. My friend recently fell from a really high place. Broke his left wrist/arm and that was obvious. His right wrist hurt but not as bad so he didn't know it was broken. But when they x-rayed it, it was broken too. And also I broke my toe in a soccer practice I thought it was broken but no one believed me so I kept playing soccer on it. So yeah if the pain of the break wasn't enough to stop your normal activities, then you just might not have noticed it.
Pain after broken wrist?
hi there, Well it is hard to say. Is the pain severe, or mild? Usually when they take a cast off, the bones aren't 100 percent healed.. they are almost completely healed and left to heal the rest of the bit without the cast, so that the arm doesn't atrophy from lack and use and so that the bones get used to movement again. You may require physical therapy if you are having movement issues. This can be as easy as the doctor showing you excersizes to help restrengthen the are, or as complicated as having to go to actual physiotherapy. It can take a long long time - sometimes forever. Bones that have been broken are also much more prone to arthritis, so they can seemingly heal now and then cause pain when you are much older. I would reccomend taking a glucosamine+chondroiten supplement, ask your doctor though first to make sure it is okay to take if you are on any meds. This is really good for the joints and helps to make sure they have adequate cushioning in the sockets and whatnot. Ideally though with a wrist break you should have a good deal of releif between the 2-3 month mark. If you are still experiencing pain or movement issues after that amount of time, see the doctor again for another xray to determine if perhaps the break healed incorrectly or something else is going on. also remember that you did not have full movement of your wrist with the cast on - this means in general that you will need some time to build up the strength in those muscles again. It takes a while, a good few weeks at least. Good luck!
Can You Do Track With a Sprained/Broken Wrist?
I supposed you can do the running events/practices. Of course, you shouldn't even try the activities such as shot put, discuss, etc. Don't even try jumping the hoizontal pole (I forget what it's called because I haven't been in track since last year). After running, your wrist might hurt though, so be careful. Don't do push ups, play with the medicine balls, or do anything with your hands until it recovers. Even after it recovers, you should take it slow. I was in track when I had my first sprain. I sprained my ankle and the doctor told me to have no physical activities. But the coach still got me to do stuff. =/ He got me to peddle on a stationary bicycle and do ankle stretches. If you were to do such things, don't over-do it. Ask your doctor when it's okay to perform activities. Also, the doctor should give you exercises to do to help improve the sprain/broken wrist.
How can I break my wrist without feeling pain?
All I can say is drugs. If you’re on a fuckton of pain opiods, you won’t feel a thing.If you want to actually break your wrist, the best way is the following:1: Hammer. Probably the most brutal way. First ice your wrist where you will be smashing, and wait until it goes completely numb and red from the cold. Then, make sure the hammer you are using is not a sledge. After that, lay your arm flat and your thumb facing the ceiling, and proceed to raise the hammer above your wrist and drop it down with as much force as you can muster. You’ll come out with the following fractures, most likely: Compound, the bone sticking out. Dependant on the force, compound fractures tend to be the most dangerous due to infection. You may also get a comminuted fracture, which may mean you’ll never be able to properly use your wrist to its maximum potential.2:Jumping off an object. Like a high height and landing on your wrist. This one, this one really hurts. You may break other bones too, you can’t be really sure. At least with the hammer one, you’re going to only be breaking hand, not actual arms or neck.3: Twisting your wrist. Lay the backside of your hand on the floor with your fingers facing you. Then, lift your entire body weight with that hand. Keep in mind that this may or may not work as you might just end up snapping the joints in half.4: Force. Place your hand in a vice with your palm facing away from you. Then use all your weight to drop to your knees and force the bone to break.Please note that I do not take credit for any damage(s) done to you, I am only here to give recommendations on how to properly break your own wrist. Feeling no pain is impossible unless you are on some heavy drugs . Also note that you may lose function in your wrist and never be able to properly lift things. Infection is always a big problem with these injuries, especially compound ones.
