    Omg I’ve awoken to the worst pain wtf wtf wtf I think I slept on my wrist, because it hurts so much! I’ve popped some ibuprofen, but it hasn’t kicked in yet.

    It’s taking my breath away, fuck fuck fuck, I couldn’t have broken it while I slept? 😭😭😭😭

    Edit: I need to restock my first aid kit, used a scarf as a bandage so I dont move my wrist too much, but god fuck the ibuprofen hasn’t touched it yet. What did I do to it!?

    Edit: urgent care opens at 8am. If my stupid wrist isn’t better by then, I guess I’m going on a lil trip ugh

      Highly unlikely to have broken it as such - unless you have osteoporosis. Most likely a pinched nerve or a minor blood supply to muscle issue - like a cramp. But I’m not even dr google so don’t mind me. Try gentle massage?

        I have been lol I know I’m catastrophising lol! It just hurts so fucking much, and I have a pretty high tolerance, I don’t want to go to urgent care haha

        Thank you! I’m sure it is just a pinched muscle or nerve

      Oh jeez that doesn’t sound good. That’s weird that you could’ve broken your wrist while sleeping. I thought the body would subconsciously rearrange itself to avoid hurting itself like that. Hope the ibuprofen kicks in asap and you can go get it looked at - urgent care clinic maybe?

        Ikr like I couldn’t possibly have fractured it!? I thought the body would do the same! So dumb 😭😂 I’ll go to urgent care if it doesn’t feel better in another half hour. I hope it’s not broken, I’m gonna have to think of a better story for how I broke my first bone if that’s the case 😂
