Question About two weeks ago I was drilling through some galvanized pipe when the drill got hung and spun around whacking me in the wrist. My wrist bruised pretty quickly, swelled a little and has since returned to normal. I was wondering how long the aching painfulness of it should last? Writing, typing, using my mouse, and sometimes carrying stuff seems to aggrevate it a bit. Should I be concerned that it could be something more than a bone bruise? Thanks!
Answer Sara Thank you for the question. Your symptoms sound like a bone bruise which is very common with blunt trauma to the wrist as the bones are very superfisial. However, if you find that your discomfort is persisting I truly suggest you consult an orthopedist to make sure nothing else is going on!
