Hi sprained my wrist on Friday at the bike park. Have done 72 hours of strapping and ice every four hours with painkillers , removing strapping at night.
Should I carry on with that or start moving it more or ....? I have an enduro this weekend so keen to get it sorted!
Ta!
I reckon he'd say go to A&E.
How do you know you have sprained it and not broken it?
Have been already , was x rayed and all clear, just a sprain
You two went quiet ... 🙂
I'll fess up, I was only posting Drac-bait. We know how he loves A&E getting clogged up 🙂
More seriously, I think Drac is a paramedic*, not an Occupational Therapist.
*I think he may be a bit more 'management'ish now, in a Hale & Pace way.

Mother F.... 😀
MIU for a follow up if you're not happy.
Still a Paramedic but yes I'm management.
That's all you'll get as I can give accurate advice without examination.
Okey dokes . I'll keep doing what I'm doing ....

That made me chuckle - just what the NHS need, Hale and Pace style "Management"!
No offence Drac, just in case you want to "rip my head off and have a look at the wiring inside....." 😳
None taken.
I did mine in Jan. Still can't hold for example a cricket bat by handle out lengthways parallel with the ground.
Good luck
6 months and you can't hold a cricket bat? ! Jees... you must have torn ligaments or something? My google powers indicate there are different grades of sprain , mine sounds like the lightest one so hopefull should be ok
A&E didn't think it was broken but it was too swollen to tell 100%.
A spot of skiers thumb chucked in there for good measure too
