Yes: Typing with a sprained wrist will be a bit slower but can be done. It is helpful to wear a wrist splint and to take frequest breaks. If it makes the pain worse then stop typing and seek treatment. 6.3k views Reviewed >2 years ago

3-6 weeks: If you had a minor stretch of the wrist you can garden in a splint and be out of the splint in 3-6 weeks. If you have a greater injury you might need surgery first.
