Im a bricklayer and recently have been lifting alot of blocks lately and the other day my wrist started hurting and now my wrist and half way up my arm is swollen, I dont feel any pain unless i turn my hand a certain way but other than that its just really swollen....so swollen my skin is shiny.
Hi, there! Your situation is moderate (shiny skin is red flag) and Your arm needs rest! You must add cold (ice through towel) for 15 min every hour and put Your arm in sling. This condition can last for 1 week!Painkiller local gel is recommended after cold - Ibuprofen based gel. If Your finger start to be numb and parenthetic, then go to emergency ward. I hope this helps
