Anyone here ever torn a ligament/tendon in your wrist?

Messed my wrist up pretty bad in an embarrassing way that I won’t mention Went to get an x-ray and it turns out it’s not broken. doc prescribed me some muscle relaxers and what not, but I am still in excruciating pain. Can’t even find the right position to lay my wrist in to sleep because the pain is constant.

Is this just a bad sprain or should I go get an MRI?

Did you go see an ortho or just your primary care? I’d go to an ortho. If the pain is that severe and no breaks showed up on x-ray, it’s hard to imagine an ortho not ordering an MRI. But, listen to your doctor.

Word of caution, I went to urgent care a while back when I messed up my wrist. They said it was a sprain after an x-ray. Pain didn’t go away so I went to my ortho. He ordered and MRI and found multiple fractures in my wrist. Make sure you’re getting the right people to look at your body because I lost a month of recovery thinking it was just a sprain that would go away.

Currently away at school and don’t have a primary doctor here so I just went to an urgent care. Woke my roommate up at 5 in the morning to go take me the pain was so bad.

Sprained my wrist pretty bad playing basketball when I was younger after landing on it and that wasn’t even close to what I’m feeling now.

No range of motion, hurts even when completely still, and can’t even open my hand completely.

Go to an orthopedist who specializes in hands. I used Dr. Alan Schroeder in BR when I broke my wrist. After surgery and Occupational Therapy, I have no residual problems.

That happened to a friend of mine. Ice the shite out of it and go see an ortho. If its bothering you that bad, get a brace to somewhat immobilize it.
