Let's share how to treat wrist ligaments after a fall.

I had a fall while running.

Orthopedic surgery due to stretched wrist ligaments

After the consultation, I received treatment for my wrist ligaments.

I am currently undergoing rehabilitation exercises.

It snowed a lot this winter

The temperature didn't rise much, so there were a lot of icy roads.

I often do running exercise in the park.

I couldn't find the icy road

I had a falling accident.

The area that bled was so bad that day

I was busy treating the wound.

As the afternoon progressed, my wrists began to swell.

It started to hurt.

I went to the orthopedic surgeon the next morning, which was Monday.

I got to see a doctor.

I was diagnosed with a stretched ligament.

I started treatment for my wrist ligaments.

 

According to the doctor

Most of the time, when you fall, it's reflexive.

Because you are trying to keep your center of gravity by stretching your arms out.

With your feet firmly on the floor

Stretching or fracture of the wrist ligaments

They say there are many cases.

Fortunately, it wasn't a fracture.

I came back that day with painkillers and a wrist brace.

 

The most important thing in treating wrist ligaments is

They say to keep your arms fixed and not move them.

But because of housework

I don't think I can put on a cast

I compensated to the maximum and replaced my injured right arm.

I decided to use my left arm primarily.

 

The first doctor

They said it would take more than 8 weeks for the wrist ligament to fully heal.

I thought you were holding on too long

That's not it.

It's been almost 8 weeks now

My wrist ligament hasn't fully healed yet ㅠㅠ

How to treat wrist ligaments after a fall

First, check at the hospital to see if it is a fracture or not.

Second, fix it with a cast or wrist band.

Third, apply cold compresses for 2-3 days after the accident.

The fourth is to change to a full steam bath every evening.

Fifth, do not move the injured area as much as possible.

 

Wrist ligament treatment takes a lot of time

I think it's very difficult from the patient's perspective.

I tried using my wrist to see if it got better.

The next day the pain came back again

It seems like my wrist ligament treatment time keeps getting longer.

 

Now, it's better than when I first had the accident.

I got so much better that I was able to untie the band and live my life.

But like cooking or washing dishes

If it's a day when you use your wrist a lot

I started feeling numb and painful in my wrist again.

Wrist ligament treatment doesn't get better until it's completely healed.

 

The doctor said

After wrist ligament treatment is complete

Using a band or light dumbbells

He said it would be good to do wrist rehabilitation exercises.

I think it's premature now

I'm planning to start slowly after spring and early summer.
