My son fell on his hand about 5 weeks ago... and we got x-rays no breaks.. was swollen initially between the pinky and wrist on the right hand... Healing very slowly... Plays basketball on a team and can not shoot without pain near his wrist area etc.. Should he be getting therapy.. Stopped playing basketball last week to completely rest his hand. What else can we do for him to get his hand healthy again. Has his first game in 3 1/2 weeks.
Hello, The symptoms seem to be related to the injury. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest using a splint to maintain the hand immobilized and avoid activities that can trigger the pain. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
