Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Today at ball I slid into home plate and hurt my wrist. I usually drag my hands behind me when I slide but I think I did something wrong this time because I instantly couldn t move it. I went swimming in the evening and it helped it a bit but it still really hurts. The pain is on the outside of my wrist (on the pinky side) I don t know what to do about it and if I should consult a doctor about it

i would suggest please visit your orthopeadicain or GP to rule out minor fracture, sprain or strain. if there is nothing at all of stated above then you dont have to worry just apply ice till numb and start moving your wrist. dont take it lightly if pain persist and visit your doctor ASAP
