RICE
R-rest it alot dont keep moving it
I-ice it 20 min on 20 min off about 3 times a day
C-compression keep it wrapped up to keep the swelling down..i would also suggest advil or alieve
E-elevation....not so much with ur wrist but the RICE method helps for basically everything!!

Well my wrist is sprained right now so I suppose I could help, lol. I've had them a few times and all I really do is put ice on it and wrap it in ace bandage and try not to bend it alot. It'll heal. Or if it seems like a bad sprain you should go to the doctors. Hope I helped =) *amber*

Put ice on it. And then at nite sleep with a heating pad to soothe your muscles around that area. It should speed things up!

Keep your wrist elevated and wrap it with a bandage to keep it all together. I've had them before and they suck. But moreso than anything else, try not to do too much with that wrist.

Nothing really can heal a sprained wrist. Anything thats sprained is healed by time, and taking good care of it.. It helps when it first happens to add ice to it for the first 24 hours.. then heat later.. Icy hot helps if your active.. At pharmacys like CVS and RiteAid they have little wrist braces and stuff that you can wear if your active and need to do stuff and cant wait that long for it to heal.. No matter what you have to try and use it a little bit more each and every day to make it heal better.. Good Luck <3

-wizerwordz- answered Tuesday August 10 2004, 10:07 pm:
im not sure about a wrist, but i sprained my ankle once. i used some pain relief cream and wrapped my ankle up so it wouldnt move that much, which reduced the pain. then I pretty much let it heal on its own.
so what you should do is put some pain relief cream on your wrist, wrap it up so you can't move it that much (but make sure you don't cut off blood flow). as long as you can bear a little pain, it should be healed in a few days, or maybe less depending on how bad it is.

by the way, i usually stay away from doctos if i don't need them and i don't think a sprain should require a doc.
this is a little different from what most people say to do, but it worked for me.

hope this helps :)

Well...
Go to the doctor, or go to your local drug store and get a wrist wrap or something, but the main thing is keeping off of it. That's the best way to heal everything. Maybe put a warm cloth on it at night, and some MYOFLEX helps alot. It's a creame that relieves the strain on the bone. I hope I helped hunnie! :) Have a good night, and Get Well sOon to whoever has a Sprained WRist <3
