I'm not sure if this is the right category but...
Today we were playing soccer in gym and I was the goalie [and I'm the least athletic girl you'll ever find] and we weren't using regular soccer balls since the last one got kicked up onto the rooft -- dont ask-- and so we were using one of those hard, rubber dodge balls filled with air and this girl that just happened to be very athletic kicked it and I tried to block it with my hand (didn't work by the way) and the ball bent my wrist way back and I had ice on it for the whole day in school.
It's a little swollen and I can't move my wrist without it hurting [I couldn't pick my violin up, write, tie my hair, hold onto stuff, etc--I can move it a little but it hurts like crap]
Is it sprained or something? And what should I do? [don't say put ice on...it's kinda obvious]
Thanks very much!!!!! (link)

Its a sprain or something worse. Most likely a sprain because I don't think you could break it by getting hit with the ball because I am a soccer player and the balls don't go fast enough to break them... but what do I know, I'm not a doctor. That's what you should do, go to a doctor and see what they say. You may need a xray to make sure everythings okay and that you didn't break it. Besides put on ice, I heard that you do 20 minutes ice on and 20 minutes ice off, but since you don't want to know about the ice then disregard that. Also, if you have a heating pad, that may help it, or if you have bengay (sp) haha just put that one... maybe the muscle was damaged? I don't know that much about injuries sorry. Well, hope you feel better.

Thanks =] I have a sprain form what the dr can tell so far. No way it's broken [if it was, I would've died already haha]
