A member asked:
Is it normal for your wrist to still be swollen 4 months after injury?

Maybe: It depends on the injury and what you did to recover. If it is an overuse injury (sprain/strain) and it continues to be re-injured through overuse, then it may still be swollen. See your pcp or an orthopedic surgeon.
