Accident please help?
Answer:
actually you could splint his wrist with the magazine itself... curl it uparound the wrist so he cant bend it then tape it around securely. You could use a couple wooden spoons from the kitchen with tape. or take a sleeping pillow and wrap it around the arm BUT it will be awfully bulky! It will protect it from bumps and more pain though. You need to have him go get it looked at so it can be splinted properly or casted. hope this helps... good luck!
Just a few days ago i hurt my hand, up until today they thought i had torn a ligament underneath my thumb. But then today the called and said that they looked over the x-ray and it turns out it was fractured. for my pain i just took pain killers, even though it was still very painful it took away most of the pain! My arm is in a plaster because of the injury but anything to keep it still will help, keeping it still is not part of the heeling process but it helps with pain management. Good luck, hope he feels better soon!
call 911, then they will instruct you what you will do, or get any cardboard, flat surface to splint the injury. remember the abbreviation RICE - R for Rest the affected part; I for Immobilize; C for compress the E for Elevate the part. bring to nearest hospital.
