How to deal with wrist injury for tennis ?

RICE: A good treatment for many musculoskeletal injuries is the rice protocol: rest, immobilize, cold, elevate. Don't use it, keep it still (splints help this), ice it and keep it elevated. If it doesn't get better, it's better to take a wrist injury to the doctor sooner rather than later to prevent complications. There are lots of ways to fracture a wrist that might not be apparent without an exam.

Splint: Get a wrist support, wrap it if it is swollen, place ice on it, elevate it. If the pain doesn't go away in the next week, see your doctor, it may be that you have a fracture. An xray may be needed.

Need an evaluation: Wirst injuries associated with tennis can be difficult to diagnosis. Simple sprains can be treated with rest, ice and nsaids with early return to sport. Complex injuries, such as tfcc tears and rupture of the extensor retinaculum may require surgery. See a board certified hand surgeon for an evaluation.
