I fell and hit my wrist REAL hard on a iron bed post, it brought tears to my eyes.?
Question:
Answers:
While it is most likely a good bruise or even a bone bruise you probably want to get that wrist x-rayed. The tingling feeling doesn't sound good. Assuming you havn't packed the wrist with ice all day. A bruise won't cause tingling. A broken bone could and lots of small bones in the wrist.
Some first aid, if you did it in the last couple hours ice up the wrist to fight swelling and pain. Take asperin or Motrin again for swelling and pain. Imobilize the wrist with a splint if you have one or at least a wrap. Keep it up above your body to reduce the swelling.
A good bruise will see diminished pain rather soon. It'll still hurt for a long time but not excruciating. A bone bruise hurts for a long time. A hair line fracture will hurt for a long time as well and it could fragment causing serious problems. So best to go see the Doc if you can afford it. Even if you can't if it hasn't subsided quite a bit in 24 hours your mobility in your wrist is too important to let money be the problem.

Dear Shy&sweet,
You've certainly brought your medical concerns to the right place! The Y!A community members are fully aware of and do appreciate the intimate conditions involving your prognosis.
Most recognized doctors in the field of medicine would employ a holistic approach to your ailment. Shy&sweet, please begin your day with a well balanced breakfast to include an ample portion of fruits and grains. After your morning routines are finished, enjoy a brisk walk around the block. If you happen to meet any stray dogs along the way, it would be a good idea to antagonize the creatures in order to add some vigor to your workout.
Now Shy&sweet, the remaining portions of your day should be filled with interesting activities and new studies to keep your mind active and in balance, complimentary to what you have done with the physical side of yourself.
After loitering around at the public library all afternoon with a bunch of smelly hobos, you can appreciate a warm bath and time to be good to yourself. Begin to collect an archive of various music genres that you can resolve one day to enjoy after you get the rest of your chores done.
Shy&sweet, if after following my advice, simply take two aspirin and forget we ever had this little discussion.
Thank you, Shy&sweet. Have a great day!

you could have, should see a doctor and have an x-ray. it really sucks to lose motion in the wrist. i tore a ligament (2.5 yrs ago) and can't turn my palm all the way down. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v123/antunesrj/Nelson_haha.jpg
You'll probably need an Xray to be sure, but give it 24 hours to see if it improves.
I tried to help! It is possible to be anything. Could be a very serious bruise all the way to a cracked bone.
Ice would help the swelling and take some tylenol to help the pain. if there are blood clots, use leech.
if there are bruises, use ice.or hard boiled eggs.
if there is a crack, go to the hospital.
if there is numbing feel. poke it.
hmm Yep, you may have cracked a bone.. even minor breaks can be painful.. that and the fact that you also may have damaged tendons, muscle, etc.. irritated nerves, I would have it checked at the e.r., You really do need an xray!
You could have a fracture of one of the wrist bones or sprained it. Have it checked by a doctor. You may need a splint and inflammatory medicine. Keep cold compresses on it until you see a doctor.
