Sprained wrist!!

[JamesyMc92]

Played in a charity football match on Thursday night.. sprained wrist! Thought it was broke but X-rays couldn't see a break and said it was badly sprained with bad tissue damage and stretched tendons! Looking like a few weeks to a few month off the course just as I was getting my game going in the right direction!
Anyone had a similar injury and if so how long before you were back playing??

I had a very similar sounding injury while in goal.
had a lot of trouble with wrist for years found out I had broken the scaphoid bone in my wrist common injury but is easily missed
ended having op to sort this out.
when swelling and soreness goes down try and get a second opinion as this is a very small bone but for a golfer it's a nightmare if you leave it untreated.
hopefully it's just sprained but this is usually the first bone to go in a major trauma in your wrist

Sounds like you have a grade 1 sprain, last year after an accident at work I was told I had a grade 2 sprain, had it in a cast for 2 weeks then once off I rapped it in ice 3-4 times a day.

Had to have 7 weeks off golf before I could start hitting balls again, but it was 10+ weeks before I could do 18 holes.

So give it plenty of rest and apply ice 3-4 times a day, and hopefully it won't take as long as mine.

I gave up football when I realised the injurys would start to affect my golf!

If you've done a good job on the tendons it'll take longer than a break to repair. Expect pain well beyond 10+ weeks.

Bad news matey. Be patient and stick to any medical advice you're given.

Have broken my scaphoid twice in my right wrist

Both times the NHS missed the diagnosis from initial x-rays.

My recovery went on to take 12 to 16 weeks, double what it should have taken. Worth getting a second check if you are having ongoing discomfort.

Cheers everyone.. I'm absolutely devastated about it can't get out on the course! I'm gonna go back for another x ray and see if they've missed anything I'm still in absolute agony! Aslong as I'm back for the masters I will be happy haha thanks again lads
