Sprained Wrist

A few days ago, I felt a sharp pain in my right wrist, but I just ignored it.  Unfortunately, my wrist became more irritated, and I could not perform simple actions like lifting up a grocery bag or tying up my hair.  Today, I decided to go to urgent care, which has been my go to option whenever I need a doctor's opinion immediately.  After recalling what happened the day the pain started, the doctor told me that the sprain might be caused by overuse during my workouts.  He ordered some X-rays to make sure that there was no damage to my bones, and the test came back negative. Before I left, he gave me a wrist splint to wear for 1-2 weeks to heal my sprain.  
My new accessory definitely restrains me from being able to do a lot of daily routines gracefully, since it is placed on my dominant hand.  Ironically, the tip of my thumb is not covered by the splint, so typing this blog post was not such a difficult feat.
