Answer 1

Apply ice to it if it's swollen and take some Advil to help reduce the swelling. If it doesn't get better, go see the school nurse tomorrow. If she thinks it's serious, she will tell your parents to take you.

If it's not swollen, you have nothing to worry about. Apply some ice, NOT heat, for the first 24 hours. Then you can alternate heat and ice to make it feel better.

Answer 2

You may or may not have suffered bony or ligamental damage. These are usually symptomised by pain, loss of movement, swelling, and deformity. In the instance of ligaments, there is often a burning sensation, accompanied by further pain on movement.
Young people, whose bones are not fully formed have an area near the ends of the long bones (epiphesis) which are still in the process of being formed into bone, and sometimes an injury to this area produces only pain and will resolve after a short time.
However if there is damage to either bone or ligament, these will require medical advice as to the correct proceedure. (X-Ray/ Ultra Sound/ Strapping/ palliative treatments etc. In the meantime, you should not stress the area that has been affected. If you are of the opinion that an injury has been caused to either bone or ligament, the affected area should be immobilised to prevent movement that might cause more damage. During this time, applying a cold/ice compress for periods of 10 to 20 minutes at a time, every half an hour.(If you don't have ice - try a frozen packet of vegetables) This will asist the swelling to reduce. If the swelling reduces by the next day and the pain subsides, alternate compresses of cold and hot will further assist swelling reduction.

Continue to complain about your pain. If your parents don't take you to the hospital, then call another trusted adult to take you.

If you're in an abusive situation with your parents, then call 9-1-1. Tell them to send an ambulance for you. Your parents wouldn't want 9-1-1 involved, and have to pay for an ambulance.

You could have a broken bone or torn ligament. Either way, immediate medical attention is necessary for proper diagnosis and treatment. A broken bone can be fatal in some cases.

Answer 4

You probably do need to see a medical professional especially if:
1) your wrist hurts more when you move it
2) your wrist is swelling up (puffier than your other wrist) quickly
3) you can't move your wrist at all
4) the pain or swelling gets worse or does not get any better in the next 2 days
I agree with the above that a school nurse is one option (if your school has one).

Answer 5

Try using ice in 15 minute intervals for 15 minutes at a time. If it is swollen and it dosen't go down, they will have no choice but to bring you to a doctor because you could cause further damage.

Answer 6

Is your wrist broken? If it's only sprained, there really isn't much to do about it. It's just going to hurt for a while and that's it. If it's broken, you have to convince your parents to take you to the hospital.

Answer 7

If it isnt swollen, u may not need a hospital.
Put ice where u injured it for 20 min.
(put a small empty bottle of water in freezer)
After u do this , get a magnet off fridge.
If your wrist swells by morn, go get an xray.

Answer 8

First go to a different school and learn how to spell or at least use spell check. Secondly keep ice on it and move it as much as possible, it's probably just sprained. My son did the same thing playing tennis and it wasn't broken.

Answer 9

how about go to your school nurse
