Sup, fellas? So earlier tonight, like five hours ago, tripped over something while running and broke my fall with the heels of both hands. Small cuts on each. One hand seems to hurt a little more than the other, and tender near the cut. Looks like some swelling but not too much. No bruising or anything. Can move everything. Hurts a little lifting something but not insane. Little tender in the palm when making fist but nothing crazy.

Do I just take Advil and wait that out or do you have to go to ER for x-ray?

Thanks.

[existential]

if swelling increases and it starts throbbing, get an x-ray. have you been icing?

It's very common to fracture your wrists when falling over forwards. Extremely easy to do.

Unless it is serious there isnt a lot they usually can do anyway.

I'd wait and see if the pain subsides before bothering to go for an xray personally. But if it increases at all then chances are you have fractured something.

Will hurt More over next two days

if not better on 3rd day, see a doc

[stackz125]

Very important to ice it
It's probably nothing
Will take a few days for it to go away
I'd say if it doesn't start to feel better by the Monday then maybe get it looked at

[jjgold]

Ice key

Keep an eye on it plus advil

Sounds good. Yeah been trying to ice.

[b1slickguy]

Rub some dirt on it and wrap it with a bag of frozen peas.
Get well, Capy.

[Capybara]

Thanks, everyone. Yeah, that's what I was basically thinking... ice it, see how bad it stays or gets... if bad after two or three days, get it checked.

But yeah, wondering what they'd do anyway really.

Keep ice on your pussy too

Yeah sounds like a scaffoid bone from what OP said...

OP you should go to doc and get that checked cos if it is broken and not set then the arthritis from it later in life will be a bitch...

[CWD]

extreme pain OTC

2 Tylenol + 2 Advil

I thought Optional just said there wasn't a lot they could usually do anyway.

Capy, if you go to the EMERGENCY room for bruised hands, you'll get some Midol and a tampon, pal

I can't believe our new generation

Depends on your age bro...

But he is correct for older people from my understanding.

Kraken can confirm but from my understanding if you are younger (ie under 29 i believe) and it is broken they can set the plaster to give the bone maximum chance of healing itself...

Broken 4 scaffoids myself. 2 in each wrist...

[gauchojake]

You should also call 911 just to clog up the system as much as possible

Reach down in between your legs and grab your balls and walk it off!

Just kidding... Hope everything heals up nicely I would just ice it myself. Maybe a shot of crown with the ice would numb it for a bit?

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Keep ice on your pussy too

Does that work??

[The Kraken]

Look if I thought you could score some Oxy, I'd pay your expenses

But ER's these days are worthless

You'll get a $400 ER consult fee, plus another $600 in X-rays

Then after your $1,000 bill, you'll get sent home with 600mg Ibuprofen and a diagnosis of FIBROMYALGIA

Universal Healthcare is +EV

Imo Opti is right. You may have a hairline fracture or something, you'd know all about it if it were broken really unpleasant. Hands are full of tiny bones to crack and putting going into cast is a massive pain and overkill for anything other that a proper break.

Super easy to strap your wrist on your own as well. Don't use tape just the bandage stuff, really helps especially if you want to carry on with activities/sports or whatever.

If Acoochy is right I'm screwed when I'm older, too much skateboarding and snowboarding is brutal on wrists/thumbs!

Just heard from Capy's family.

He has died.

RIP

I just meant if it is minor (which it sounds like, or you would be at the ER already) they are only going to give your painkillers. But if you snapped something off and it affects a blood vessel it can become serious fast. So don't be a hero if the pain increases.

Genuine laugh out loud at that one, well played sir.

Mo, my condolences

Gaucho, myself and the rest of the medical team worked hard, we battled for Capy. But the wounds were too much to overcome. He never felt any pain after he OD'd on advil, he died in peace.

RIP Capy

[gauchojake]

We tried

RIP

[Covy]

Bled to death from what I heard

tampons could not contain all the blood



looks like SBR has taken over the account to pretend he is not dead so they are not liable for us telling him to toughen the fukk up

see below

[Capybara]

Wait, wait, still alive!! *coughs, drops dead*

Anyways, thanks boys, gonna try and get some sleep. Funny, other hand is ****** too, def would not want two casts... prohibitive for a lot of activities.

Later, boys. Good people here, very prompt responders. Pussy/tampon jokes expected, it's all good. Peace.

[Capybara]

Wait, one more thing. F'n girlfriend was with me and said to put hand sanitizer on it. So of course got home later and read never to do that. Aren't chicks supposed to be good at mothering, WTF?

Not that it matters, as it would be considered post mortem care

But just wash them with soap and water
