Wrist Sprain

[Xen_Antares]

Well this has not been a good year for me coaching my baseball team, the good news is we won a couple of times. The bad news is, I am injury prone. I sit here typing this with my right hand due to spraining my left wrist showing my boys how to execute a rundown, I got to chasing a boy, tripped over my feet and landed hard. I tore the hell out of my right elbow, sprained my wrist, skinned my left knee and learned a valuable lesson about keeping my car keys in my pants pocket.

After a trip to the ER, I now have my arm in a brace and a sling, and my other one wrapped like a mummy. I hurt like you wouldn't believe right now, I am also beginning to wonder if my elbow is sprained too, as it has this creeping pain gradually growing to unbelievable levels, or it could just be a symptom of my sprained wrist due to it being the same arm.

Earlier in the season I got clobbered in the skull by a stray ball and ended up with a concussion and now this. When will it end?

When you sop chasing little boys?

yeah thanks

No, seriously..I had a bad sprain a few years ago, too. The biggest aggravation beside the pain is not being able to use it. In the case you do, even more pain. Prayers for you and the children.

The boys are okay, in fact they were laughing at me. The pain didn't hit me until later, live and learn I guess.

How much longer is this season? You might need to buy yourself a helmet and stock in Ibuprofen.

If you still have problems with your wrist once you get out of your sling or brace, I fully recommend a magnetic bracelet. I was HUGELY skeptical until someone bought one for me after spraining my wrist something terrible due to an unfortunate altercation. My wrist hurt for MONTHS, but after wearing the bracelet here and there, it's a ton better.

I swear by it. But, not like in a Comedy Central way.
