its just one of those cloth things you wrap around with the metal hingies at the end its medium tight

I hurt my wrist about 2 months ago and went to the hospital and they told me it was a sprain so they gave me those sprain wraps for ur wrist. I was still convinced it was fractured so I went again for another X-ray and a different doctor told me again it was a sprain. However I kept hearing cracks whenever i would bend my wrist. Its been about 2 months and the crack sounds went away but I stil feel this sharp pain on the right side of my right wrist. The lil bone stickin out on the wrist side is a tad bit higher then the bone stickin out on my left wrist (non-injured). My question is has anyone had a similar experience to this and should I be worried or wait it out a little longer and see what happens.

I play tennis, which I recieved an extremely minor sprain from. I’m allowed to still play, but I have to keep my wrist wrapped up with medical tape for support. I’ve had it on since 2:30ish this afternoon. My question– how long are you allowed to keep medical tape on for? And should you take it off if you feel itching or numbness under it and at the hand? (I’m not experiencing that, but I want to make sure that I know for safety.)

Thanks!
And what about tingling? (Just wondering…) =]

I probably sprained my wrist , but I was wondering if there’s any specific way I should wrap my wrist in the ace bandage I have? I’ll be doing a lot of computer work, with clicking around and typing, and a lot of writing/drawing ‘cuz I’m in high school still. but like, should I wrap it a certain way?

She dared me to petend i broke my wrist and sprained my ankle to trick my one friend (i know, it seems cruel to me too) so I have an ace bandage to wrap around my foot and wrist but how can i make it work? please help!

It is a moderate sprain.

I got an x ray. They said no fractures but there is a lot of bruising. How long would be best to keep it wrapped for.


This will support and compress a sprained wrist.

During a futsal (kind of like soccer) game I fell on my wrist and it hurt a lot. Now whenever I move it a certain way I feel pain. My mom wrapped it but it was too tight and my hand turned blue and swelled up. Now the hand in which I hurt is a lot colder than my other hand. Is it sprained or just strained?
