Yes, particularly if you lifted a heavy grocery bag or the lift was from an awkward position. A pulled ligament is generally referred to as a sprain.

How do you treat the torn tendon in the wrist?

The R.I.C.E method. No, not rice! Rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Don't use your sprain unless you have to. Put some ice on it, it'll feel better n no time. Compress the sprain by wrapping it in an elastic bandage. This will help support it, so it doesn't move and put more strain on the sprain. Elevate it on a cushion or pillow, as to keep the sprain above the patient's heart if at all possible. And by the way, a torn ligament and a sprain are the same thing! So, hopefully this will help with your torn ligament (sprain). while i agree with most of the above answer, the statement about a sprain and a torn ligament being the same are not. it depends on the severity of the sprain. a grade 1 sprain may have overstretched the ligament where a grade 2 has actually torn the ligament so that part is inaccurate. just thought i would add that extra information since i recently suffered a grade 3 strain (torn ligament) that required surgery!


How do you tell if you have a torn ligament or a bruised ligament in the wrist?

If you have torn the ligament it will swell, bruise, and possibly bunch up depending on the severity of the tear. You will also likely not be able to move your wrist. If it is just a bruise it will swell and turn colors but you should still have at least some movement in and there is no detachment involved.


How can i sprain my wrist?

If you want to sprain your wrist take it from someone who has sprained their wrist like me. Get someone who can throw a softball REALLY hard and stand kind of close to them. Catch the ball and because of the force your wrist will bend back and it will cause a sprain. But my wrist really hurt when I sprained it so my advice is not to try to sprain your wrist on purpose.
