I moved slightly a heavy box early yesterday and I heard my right wrist go clunk. But I soon forgot about that. Later my right wrist, hand and lower arm really hurt. I spent quite a time trying to get it looked at and eventually was referred to Community Pharmacist who didn’t examine it but said to use Ibuprofen gel. I came home but wasn’t happy. Eventually one of my friends took me to the Walk-in Centre where after a long wait it was very carefully examined. Bursitis. It has been strapped up. I am not allowed to lift/ move anything heavier than 1 kg for four weeks. Just rest. What a nuisance!
