What Causes Pain In The Wrists After Operating A Chainsaw Cutting?
Question: Hello I was operating a chainsaw cutting firewood and at one point when I went to cut the saw jammed for a second casing my wrists on both hands to hurt and I felt it through my hands. It seems to be feeling better I just wondered if you had any idea what had occred or what they call it.
Brief Answer:
Might be sprain, analgesic cream or spray
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
As you were not expecting it to happen, sudden jerkiness might have caused sprain.
As it is improving anf in the absence of any pain, swelling and or difficulty in the movement of the affected part, I don't think you need to worry much.
You can apply analgesic cream or spray to the affected part and if required can take oral NSAIDS.
Hope this helps
Take care
