I did some PT exercises yesterday for a Rotator Cuff injury. I was using a band that was probably too heavy ( I have only been to PT once so far) At 2 in the morning I woke up with terrible pain in my wrist. Nothing helped. This morning the pain was awful. I started taking Ibuprofin and icing it. I now have a large soft lump on the outside of my wrist and I still have a painful weak wrist. Should I ice it or use heat? Do I need to see a doctor or can I just go to the PT tomorrow as scheduled? Thank you.
Hello rearward welcome to Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query in details .* This is possible inflammation at the wrist, must see the doctor before going to PT tomorrow.* Alternate application of heating pad and ice pack would be of immense help. Hope this will help you for sure . Wishing you fine recovery. Welcome for any further guidance. Regards .
