[QUOTE="jibbs, post: 1455555"] If it's affordable, best bet would be to have a doc fix you up, man. Sounds like a sprain to me like you said, though. If you have to do it yourself, the most important things to remember are to rest, compress and immobilize most of your lower/forearm. Pretty much every part of arm/hand that connects to the injury and causes pain when used/exercised, you're going to want to wrap up and [B]not use[/B]-- a splint would work well to keep you from inadvertently straining it while resting. Icing the injury will help numb the localized pain, but overdoing it can actually slow down the healing process. I wasn't trying to talk :censored:, it's just how it is. I mean, your boss could've been telling the truth. I just know that this is a demanding, thankless job and most people end up feeling like they're the only one getting friend'd in the A on a daily basis. I think they call it jaded? idk. It is what it is, though, no disrespect intended to the work you put in when you're on the clock. [/QUOTE]
