I fell while roller blading and used my hands to catch myself. My right hand kinda buckled so I was on my arm. Both my hands and my right wrist/arm hurt at the time but now its just my wrist and the space in between my thumb and finger that hurt. But it hurts to tre point that I can't move my wrist or thumb. What can I do to ease the pain without going to the doctors or store?

Apply ice and elevate. You need to see a doctor for x rays. You may have broken something! Good luck.

exact same thing happen to me last week. take motrin and tommorrow go to the orthopedist .. DO NOT WAIT FOR AN APPOINTMENT. if u got to wait for an appointment to go the ER or one of those walk in clinics in a town... get it x-ray'd. you have what i have.. a Triangular Litument Injury.. mines on the left arm.. if it is bad enough and physical therepy isnt good at working (if ur in a plaster card, after the cast comes off you go) you might need surgery if it is that bad.
