A member asked:
After a sprained wrist, how long will it take to return to gardening?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
3-6 weeks: If you had a minor stretch of the wrist you can garden in a splint and be out of the splint in 3-6 weeks. If you have a greater injury you might need surgery first. See a hand surgeon.
