I badly sprained my wrist yesterday. I can barely post anything.
It was a work-related injury. After football practice last night, I fell off an equipment truck. (pause for audience laughter) It's a pretty embarrassing story, and I'm REALLY pissed because I basically can't do anything that requires two hands. Thank GOD I'm right-handed, and it was my left wrist. The pain is currently getting worse since the Advil is wearing off. I took two Advil at 11 am, I don't know if I should take another dose. It really sucks, cause I'm basically immobile. I can't drive a car with this, and the trainer told me to stay in my dorm and rest it up. I have the thing in a splint and ace bandage right now, but like I said, the pain is getting worse.

But still, I gotta suck it up. I'm a football guy.

2. ummm....
have you had it checked out?

It's quite possible to have broken something. Maybe worth a trip down to the urgent care clinic.

3. I saw an athletic trainer today.

They were the only ones on campus who could help me urgently. All appointments with the campus doctors were filled for today. The pain didn't travel down my arm, and I can make a limp wrist, so she concluded it wasn't broken. Just REALLY badly sprained. Remember, I can't drive anywhere, so I couldn't get to urgent care. I trust the trainers, tho.
