I lifted out DS2's buggy from the luggage rack on the bus last Sunday, since then, my hand/wrist has been quite sore. I can't put my weight on it, can't lift or support DS's with it, open lids etc and generally hurts to do anything requiring any amount of pressure.
Mil looked at it today and said it was a bit swollen.
Is it worth going to minor injuries? What would they do or is it worth just putting up with it til it clears on its own?

bursting bug- how much swollen is it?, is it bruised or anything.
Try something like ibuprofen, see if it improves, otherwise try MIU they would always have a look.
You haven't fallen on it recently or anything.... ?

I'd be tempted to go to GP, or minor injuries

burstingbug · 13/08/2007 13:24

no bruising, didn't really swell up, although mil saw a difference, I've not fallen on it.
I'm still bf DS2 so not sure if I can take Ibuprofen.

Miu was shut yesterday when it was really hurting. DH has gone to work now which means taking DS's in double buggy.
