Hi, so I was on my trampolinw and I fell on my wrist. It s been 2 days and I haven t seen a doctor but I think it could be sprained as it is hurting when I touch It my parents keep telling me it s just a bruise. Should I leave it or visit the hospital?

Hi and Welcome to Ask A Doctor service. I have read your question and here is my advice.
If there is no gross swelling , no deformity at the joint , then you are right it a strain only and you dont need te see a doctor. You can use some painkiller like ibuprofen for few days for pain .
This genrally would take few days to be fine.
See you doctor if it's swollen or deformed or if very painful.
Hope I have answered your question. I will be glad to answer any further question about this. kind Regards Dr Rahman.
