A member asked:
I realize this is a broad question, but in general and on average, do wrist injuries take a longer time to heal than other injuries? like months?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You are right: You are right, very broad question. There are simple wrist sprains that can be better in 7-14 days and some wrist fractures and more severe ligament injuries that take months to heal or even need surgery. Don't hesitate to be seen to discuss the specifics of your injury with a doctor.
