sprained wrist??
      07/11/12 02:52 AM

I injured my wrist 3.5 weeks ago today doing ju-jitsu. I planted my hand on the ground, palm away from me, and my body weight hyper-extended my arm. The next 2-4 days my elbow was swollen with severe pain and I was unable to move it. After a week of ice, the swelling subsided as did the pain. I was left with residual pain in the lower forearm and wrist when i put pressure in my wrist (as if to do a push-up). I went to the doctor, had an x-ray done and no fractures were found. The doc said I must have just sprained some ligaments and to give it a couple weeks. I am at that point now and i still cannot push up on a surfboard, as I continue to have the same pain when I attempt to apply pressure. My wrist also hurts when I rotate thumb away from my body as if to hold out my palm.

There is no swelling present, and am wondering how common it is to do damage that will not heal with time, as I am dying being out of the water for nearly a month now! What's my next step? demand an mri? more time?

Thanks for the input..
