Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am in my thirties and have been recovering from a wrist injury for the past six months. However, I suspect a minor sprain. I worked in the manufacturing industry and used to lift or move things that weighed anywhere from 5-30 lbs. The pain was only moderate initially but eventually worsened. I stopped lifting weight for about two weeks, and the pain has resolved. However, occasionally, I get the pain but not severe as before. Also, I consulted a sports therapist who asked me to get an MRI scan done if the pain did not resolve within two weeks.. How long will it take for complete recovery? And did my sprain get complicated by overusing it? Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
I would suggest wearing a wrist belt for three weeks. I would also suggest
I would advice complete rest for the wrist for atleast three weeks for complete healing of the ligament and the muscles.
Thank you.
