Today i was playing basketball and was backpeddaling. I fell like the clumsy person i am and tryed to soften my fall with my hands. Only when it happed by wrist now feels like a finger does when u jam it or hit the tip of it with something. I can move it fine and there isnt much pain just some discomfort. Is there even such thing as jamming ur hand? if so is there any precautionary measures i can take?

i know that feeling all too well. ice it if theres any swelling. otherwise...watch out for: swelling around and upwards towards the forearm, pain or discomfort after a couple weeks, pain or discomfort only when you move your wrist a certain way.
there are lots of small bones around your wrist and forearm that can be fractured or broken without you even feeling it. if you have those signs then you might wanna head to your dr. and get it checked out. they might just set you off with a splint
