I thought this would be the best place to post my question since it's a sports injury thing.
About 5 weeks ago I hurt both my ankle and my wrist. My ankle hurts every time I do something kinda high impact (so it's ok if I walk normally, but I cant walk super fast or run- and anyone who knows me knows what this means for my exercise life GGRRRRR), every time I twist it, and every time I like stand on my tiptoes. My wrist also hurts every time I turn it and pretty much every time I pick something up with that hand (thank god it isnt the hand I write with).
Anyway, joint injuries are something I know absolutely nothing about. I dont wanna go to the doctor for them if at all possible. And I dont know how to go about treating them. Ice? But then the muscles around the joint get so stiff, should I use heat? Anti-inflammatories? Stretch them? Get an ankle and wrist brace? Leave them alone?
You get the point lol. I need advice from someone who has has a joint injury before. What is the quickest and safest way to deal with these? And how long should I expect for this shit to last? hehe my plan of ignore the shit and it will go away just isnt cutting it ;D.
