How To Cure Sprained Wrist?
I fell & sprained my wrist about 3 weeks ago. Had it x-rayed a few days later, no fractures. It was swollen and bruised. After about a week, the swelling went down. The bruise is gone now, but it still feels sore after eg typing a lot and it hurts a bit when I put pressure on it. Is that to be expected or should I be concerned that it is not healing properly?

hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
As you have a sprained wrist this symptoms are common post the injury. Also, using a wrist brace should be helpful for stabilizing the joint and then some simple Forearm muscle Strengthening exercises. As this will improve your joint stability and muscle endurance. After performing exercises for 2-3 weeks of time you should have good recovery.
There is nothing much to worry as these are all common symptoms post injuries.
