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.
I was at work lifting empty shipment boxes to go to the trash and when I picked up a few boxes I felt a pop in my wrist. It kinda hurt but lasted a short time and then it was fine. Now, 3 days last my wrist is starting to hurt and I can t hold heavy objects at all. I can t even turn my steering wheel. Should I see a doctor right away or can I just see one this coming week? Should I see my internist or an orthopedic surgeon?
You could have popped a ligament or muscle due to the strenuous work of lifting heavy objects. I advise you to apply an elastic bandage wrapped ovder the wrist and hand in figure of 8 pattern. Get it looked at by an Orthopaedician otherwise it could get worse.
