Content: Sprained Wrists and Arthritis
What does a sprained wrist feel like, as opposed to arthritis? The aches and pains can be similar, so tell your physician if you think long-term discomfort is contributing to your sprained wrist symptoms. The biggest difference is that a sprained wrist is usually an acute sudden injury whereas arthritis onset is typically gradual. How Long Does a Sprained Wrist take to Heal? How long does a sprained wrist last? That is the first question patients ask after diagnosis. Most sprained wrist injuries resolve in two to three weeks. Severe sprains that involve a torn ligament could take weeks or months. Plus, if surgery is required to restore stability, you can expect at least 3 months of recovery. A personalized recovery program will optimize the healing process so that you can return to your normal life.
