Sprained Wrist
I was wondering how long it would take for a sprained wrist to heal. The dr. said it was a tendent [sp?] sprain? It's nothing major. I can still move it a little but it hurts.
But anywhos, usually how long does it take to heal? I hurt it on Thursday and it still hurts a lot

It really depends how bad your sprain is. I play running back for my football team, so I've sprained my wrists a few times. Ususally it takes minor sprains about 1-2weeks to heal, but some worse ones i've had can take anywhere from 3-6 weeks till it's normal. If you can, try and stretch your wrists out a lot. My sister had a broken arm, and when she got the cast off, it took her about a month of stretching to get her normal range of motion back. Hope that helps =]

i sprained my wrist last year. it's gonna hurt for a while, mine did. but mine was like a really bad sprain. it took about a week for the really bad pain to go away. but since yours isn't as bad it should feel better in a few days. it will hurt when you move it for a while so try not to. it was like 2 or 3 weeks until i could take the brace thing off & actually start to move it again. it hurt a little but not too bad. after that, it was about 2 or 3 more weeks until it was back to normal. since yours isn't a bad sprain, it should only be about 2 or 3 weeks until it's back to normal. i would suggest advil or tylenol for the pain for now. wait a week or two & see how it feels when you move it. don't rush into it though or you'll just hurt it more. move it slowly & if it hurts, stop. anyway i hope you feel better!!

also,
after it's all better, don't start doing flips & cartwheels or whatever for a while. you don't want to re-sprain it.
