HELP! My arm is swollen, need advice ASAP!

Copying my post from the soccer forum; they sent me over here...

HELP PEOPLE!
So, I had a total nightmare during my soccer game today—really trashed my right wrist. I was diving to block a shot (mind you, this was my first time playing goalie in forever!) and my arm just twisted completely wrong. Now the whole thing is swollen, and honestly, everywhere I touch it hurts like crazy. Even when I'm just sitting still, there's this constant, throbbing pain.
I've got a wrap on it, been icing it all day, and I even tried soaking the bandage in some rubbing alcohol—which sounds weird, I know—but nothing is working to dull the pain enough so I can actually get some sleep.
WHAT SHOULD I DO, HELP!! Does anyone have experience with this!!!

Second update: I'm planning to head to the ER in the morning to get a splint put on, but the problem is these next six hours... if I stay awake, I'll just be suffering until then. Once they immobilize the arm, I can go straight to the psych ward, probably—I just can't fall asleep because no matter how I position it, it hurts.
///I don't think anything is broken, though—I could move my fingers and wiggle the joint a bit when it happened, but now everything just feels totally stiff.

// Third one:

Here is what I have in my medicine cabinet: Celebrex, Fonid, Contral, Claritin, and Tylenol.

I have no clue what does what—can any of these help?

Someone just suggested the Tylenol, so I took one pill. Looking for expert opinions!

Thanks so much for all the help here :rollleyes: 👎
Hey mod, could you please lock and delete this? It’s getting pretty late and I actually have to head out to my doctor's appointment soon.

🤣

The story here is actually helping quite a bit. I guess I'm just surprised by how much everyone seems to want to pitch in 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Wait, is there seriously no doctor on call for the night shift? I mean, where exactly is our subscription money even going? 😠

So, I rolled into the ER around 7:30—just one of those nights, you know?—and ended up sitting there with this lady until about 8:20 before they actually started getting things moving. 👎

First it was the hacker attacks, now this. What's next on the list, I wonder?

Maybe tighten things up a bit 🙂

Grab about 2 liters of bourbon, crush up some aspirin, and toss it in the freezer for 10 minutes. Put it on a compress, wrap it tight around your hand, and just chill out. I dealt with something similar after wiping out on my bike once—you don't even need to hit up an ER. Just do what I told you, trust me, it works
