kcinsu Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 So about a week and a half ago, a friend asked for some help moving some large furniture in her apartment. I obliged. I didn't feel any pain that day. The next day, it was barely even noticeable. Each following day, it became more and more painful... Now it is excruciating... I picked up a splint today to limit my movement, and while that helps, my wrist is still throbbing. It's either a hairline fracture, or a torn tendon.... or.... something, but holy fuck it hurts... the kind of pain that makes you gasp and get tunnel vision when you hit it. Gonna try to get to the free clinic tomorrow, but they often have waiting periods of several days. Arggggg. And it's my dominant hand... so I go to do anything, have to stop, and then use my other hand, and I'm all clumsy and shit. Not fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenGOD Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 it's not a hairline fracture then. cause you would remember the incident that caused it. like banging it against something. It could be something like RSI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
