Hi - I fell backwards two days ago and landed with all my weight on my left wrist (was not drunk!). Anyway, it's now bruised black from the top of my thumb, all along the fleshy bit at the side of my hand, to about three inches up on the inside of my wrist. The swelling has gone down but it still hurts. I can't put any weight on it, not even to hold a cup of tea or a book. can't do things like open the marmite etc. I've had some ice packs on it and have starpped it up with a bandage. Is there anything else I should be doing please?
It huuuuuuuuuuuuuurts!!!!
