I hurt my hand really badly opening a jar, i can hardly squeeze with it, what could have happened and what should i do?

Hand pain: You could've sprained your hand or wrist. For things like this, i like to take some ibuprofen, ice it initially, and rest it for a few days. If it's not any better in a week, getting worse, or really hurting at night, then i usually see my family doc.
