A member asked:

My 12 year old daughter hurt her wrist in gym class. it's not swollen, and she has full rom. could be strained/sprained, does she need to see a doc?

Likely mild sprain: Since she is moving her wrist well without swelling etc..Likely she only sustained minor sprain. If she has some pain, motrin/advil/aleve for a few days will likely suffice. If symptoms worsen, then consult doc...Good luck.

Sprain: It's sounds like it may just be a sprain. She can try a wrist support from the drugstore. If it does not improve get it checked.
