My wrist isn’t broken

It hurts like hell though. It is still super swollen. My husband got a good look look at it this afternoon when I got home from work and he insisted that I go to my employer’s health clinic for an x-ray. The very good news is that neither my wrist nor arm are broken—it is just a sprain. The doctor gave me a brace and recommended ice for today and ibuprofen for pain as needed. Hopefully I’ll be able to get back to the gym on Monday.

Take care and don't push yourself. I hope it gets better soon.

Oh I guess this was a result of a gym accident. How did it happen? I broke my left wrist once, and my right wrist once..no fun...let me tell you!

Well, at least it's not broken, but even then it can still hurt. Hopefully it gets better soon.

@NJChicaa I hurt my foot a number of years back. I didn't break anything, as I could walk on it, but after a while of walking it, it really hurt.

Goo news, but it doesn't stop the fact that it is still painful. Be careful!

A sprain can hurt as much as a fracture.

That is very true. This one is very painful and I have a high tolerance for pain.

You will be one handed at your next gym session. You can't risk re-irritating the wrist.
