Looking for any and all help asap but especially Janet's if she sees this in the next 12 hours.
My 11 yo DS is the only goalie for his Peewee Rep hockey team. First playoff game is tomorrow, 2nd Sunday. Best of three to advance. Obviously it's what the kids work hard for all season....
My darling (not so much right now) 14 yo DD got upset with her brother this past Tuesday after school for not turning the radio down fast enough (that SHE had turned up) when her friend called, and proceeded to get rough with him and then wrestled, shoved etc. We were both at work so only have a he said/she said scenario. However, she really isn't saying anything (no denial, just her 'reasoning' on why she jumped him).
He immediately had wrist pain and his father had him take some advil/motrin and when I called home I told them to put ice on it. He said it was just a little sore and tender. Wednesday he said it was the same and didn't want anything. Thursday nothing was said. Tonight he had hockey practice and couldn't hold the stick. The coaches got concerned (said he couldn't squeeze their finger when they asked) and came to speak to my DH (I was at a show). He explained but mentioned he thought it wasn't a problem/wasn't sore anymore.
So they came home and gave him the three motrin that's suggested for his age and weight, wrapped it in a tension bandage as per the coach's suggestion, and about an hour later when they tried it he could hold the stick and move it to and fro however some positions still hurt somewhat. I noticed when the bandage came off that it was slightly swollen. He hasn't let me see it up to this point. Just said 'mom, it's just sore'. Too cool for his mom to look at it and his dad said it's not broken, he can move it. Which I know is not necessarily the case!
Anyway, my question is at this late stage would ice help with the slight swelling? Or maybe some of that icy cold stuff? Is there anything else I can do for him besides taking him in for xrays which WILL be done beginning of next week if he's the same. They are both adament (sp?) that they will play tomorrow and Sunday before going to the hospital. DS doesn't want to let the whole team and families down!
Anyone have experience or medical advice for me? Janet where ARE you?
