Your injury may be serious when:

– Following your injury you are in considerable pain and unable to grip an object with your hand.
– You develop considerate bruising or swelling shortly after the injury occurred.
– There is obvious deformity of your injured wrist.
– You feel numbness or tingling in your forearm or hand.
– You experience considerable pain and weakness in your wrist when attempting to lift a heavy object.
– Your pain gets worse over 2 days or you generally feel unwell.

If 1 or more of the above points apply to you, seek medical advice. In the meantime refer to DAY 1 for the application of RICE to limit further damage. If none of the above points apply to you, you are an ideal candidate for self-treatment.

Self Treatment

If your injury happened 3 days ago or less, start the treatment programme at DAY 1. If your injury happened more than 3 days ago, start the treatment programme at DAY 4 to DAY 8.

As your pain and swelling decrease, you may reduce the number of time you apply RICE. PREVENTION OF RE-INJURY If your work or recreational activities involve repetitive or strenuous activity, a gradual build-up over 3 weeks is essential. This allows your wrist to fully regain the ability to perform these more demanding tasks without the danger of re-injury. If you play contact sports, a gradual build-up over 3 weeks is also necessary. This enables your wrist to regain the ability to cope with forceful activity. If you feel your wrist requires additional support, seek advice on strapping from a physiotherapist. If despite these measure your injury recurs , seek advice from a physiotherapist to determine whether other factors are contributing to this condition.
