You shoudl feel a lil Indention on the wrist, where the tumab "joins" the wrist.( this is not medical terms sorry lol) If you can touch that, with out it hurting,or arm jerking then more than likly its just a really bad sprain.( some sprains are just as bad as breaks) This "spot" on the wrist is a nerve point, if anything is fractured or broke, pushing on that you will know it! But still see a doc, it worked for bones breaking wise, but prolly not for torn legiments etc. -------------- The following, has not be approved by the FDA or FT, it was not meant to diagnose,treat,or prevent any diease(s) Please consult a moderator or doctor before using any of the suggestions or comments.

Seriously, even if its not fractured your way better off knowing then ignoring it and finding out later that it was. Thats what I did and it took me nearly a year to recover, and it still bothers me 2 years later. Don't do what I did. Also, a lot of times when you sprain something, it fractures as well. The bone can crack from the stress of the tendon being pulled (or something like that). -------------- - Its never about how much you can lift, or how many reps you do. Its just about doing it, and doing it right. - If your hungry all the time, your not eating enough. And anyways, being hungry sucks. ~Brad~
