How long does Wrist Sprain last?
Content: In case of moderate sprain, the pain and swelling may last for about a week. Recovery time may also vary as everyone heals at a different rate. If the sprain is severe, it can take a number of weeks or even months for the injury to heal completely. The pain may persist for months. The response of injury, pain and healing may cause stiffness of the joint. If the injury is not diagnosed or treated appropriately, the ligament injuries may result in wrist instability. This can cause progressive cartilage degeneration (arthritis) of the wrist joint. Few tips that help to recover better from wrist sprain
Give rest to your wrist for 24-48 hours: it not only decreases pain but also limits further injury and speeds healing. You should start to use the involved wrist gradually and try to avoid activities that cause pain.
