yardhippie 0 #1 July 20, 2005 to go the the Doctor if you hurt yourself but arent convinced its serious? ya see, I woke up after day 1 of loading the moving truck and my wrist hurt, as the day wore on, it got worse. So I figured I sprained it and no big deal. But today is day 5 of it hurting, ive wrapped it to try to immobilize it. so Im wondering... do I go to the ER tommorow (i have no Dr. here in ATL) or just tough it out?Goddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

monkycndo 0 #4 July 20, 2005 I injured my wrist and got it looked at that day. It still bothers me every once in a while. Too many little bones in there that if they don't heal correctly, lots to suffer later. Go to a doc in the box. They are good for this type of injury.50 donations so far. Give it a try.

skychick312 0 #6 July 20, 2005 Dont be such a baby...You are fine!!! Put ice on your wrist for 20 mins on 20 mins off...do that 3 times then wait a little and do it again.. wrapping it is good also.... ALso you can get menthol patches and those help with pain and inflammed muscles/tendons... Trust me... Call me if you need anything!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Be the change you wish to see in the world! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OINK! ------------------ Seriously, guy, if you're asking us the question, you already know the answer. 5 days? Get your ass to the doctor already. The worst that can happen is he removes your appendix by mistake. You didn't need it anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yardhippie 0 #9 July 20, 2005 see. normally id just "tough it out" but its not gotten any better, sometimes I think it hurts more. Oh and if I move my hand to fast (yes make plenty of jokes here) my wrist makes this pop, which is most unpleasnt. Hell I dont go to the Dr for stiches unless its really bad. but the last time I put off going to the Dr. I had to have surgery. Not because of the wait, but because of the damage. and USUALLY, when im sick/hurt enough to go to the Dr. Its not good. dammit.Goddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrewEckhardt 0 #10 July 20, 2005 Quoteto go the the Doctor if you hurt yourself but arent convinced its serious? do I go to the ER tommorow (i have no Dr. here in ATL) or just tough it out? I'd go to the urgent care clinic just before it closes for the day. You won't wait as long (people with bigger problems tend to go to the ER, and they want to go home and therefore need to take care of you ASAP because there is no second shift) and the insurance co-pay will probably be less (mine is $25 for an urgent care clinic versus $100 for the ER).

jeiber 0 #11 July 20, 2005 Quotemy wrist makes this pop, which is most unpleasnt Yeah, I know what you mean... it's hard to concentrate with the popping.... Just be careful, you don't want things to get too out of hand! Seriously though, if it's not any better after 5 days, you might want to get it looked at... JeffShhh... you hear that sound?

ladyskydiver 0 #12 July 20, 2005 First... noice ass I'm liking the avatar's you're putting up lately. Regarding when to go to the doc....I'm really good at telling others to take care of themselves and get to the doctor **hint** **hint** to get things checked out but bad at doing it myself. Oh....and in case the **hint** **hint** was too subtle : Go see the doc/ERLife is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably.

haymangonzo 0 #13 July 20, 2005 Get your ass to the doctor my friend. Nothing to loose and much more to gain. Actually if the problem is indeed more then just bruising, you could be making matters worse. Also by asking the question on this forum you already new the right answer.
