Wrist injury

Blacksrt4 · Post by **Blacksrt4** » May 12th, 2004, 8:58 am

I "sprained" my wrist skatebaording 4 weeks ago yesterday according to the doctors at the hospital. When I was there they said they couldnt see any breaks and that it was just a sprain. Well its been 4 weeks they said give it 2 weeks and it will be fine. So I can move my wrist in all directions now, but when I move it as if I was to do a pushup and I get down to do one the pressure just kills and it wont let me do anything other than move. Should I consult a doctor or just keep wearing the splint they gave me and see if I cant wait it out.

Well I have been letting it heal wearing a splint they gave me. I can move my wrist it just hurts in my palm kinda and on the inside of the wrist when I put pressure when I bend it. I will go see the doctor and see what he has to say. Thanks all...

Do what the doc says. Don't even beat off if it could cause a strain.

Seriously, whatever you may lose from laying off, you will get back in basic. Use your head.

Or just beat off with the other hand. (Would that make you 'Bi-'?)

Are you coming out of the closet? If so, go back in!

Blacksrt, you will be receiving a bill for medical advice and the total comes to $982,345.76 payable in cash or American Express only. There will be no need to send this mail as a "rubber check" as we will be sending some Ranger "volunteers" to your house to pick up the cash. Whatever denomination you have will be fine. A large portion of the money will be going to our Doc who will be setting up a new Relaxation Spa for tired Doc's and Rangers. Below is the expensive post by Doc who is also bashful about asking for money. I am not. Here's is Doc's medical impart and his credientials:

Doc wrote: Follow your doc's orders, follow-up if it is not getting better (and then inquire as to the necessity of an MRI) and STOP DOING PUSHUPS WITH A SPRAINED WRIST!
Post when you hear something.

Check Six,
Doc

"Shit Doc, this really hurts!" "Yeah I know, gettin' shot will do that..."

P.S. After payment is received, follow-up treatment if diagnosis is good will be free. If diagnosis is not good money will be requested from you, prolly only 3/4's of original amount (estimation).
