Members Jet Bycraft Posted June 15, 2005 Members Share Posted June 15, 2005 I recommend ice, and a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, such as ibuprofen or naproxen. The active ingredient in Advil is ibuprofen and the active ingredient in Aleve is naproxen. Take one Advil four times daily (every six hours) or one Aleve three times daily (every eight hours). This will help reduce the swelling. Never take Advil and/or Aleve simultaneously. If pain and swelling persist, please consult your doctor. I hope all goes well.

Members Non-Digital Tom Posted June 15, 2005 Members Share Posted June 15, 2005 Very good advice above from Jet Bycraft. Don't feel too bad, Keith - one time I wiped out on a bike and broke BOTH my wrists. I also bashed my head on the pavement (on my right eyebrow) and ended up with the worst road rash because I was only wearing shorts and sneakers. Needless to say, there was no guitar playing for a few weeks. This was a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Backstepper Posted June 15, 2005 Members Share Posted June 15, 2005 Wash dishes by hand. Really helps when I've had hand pain. Some how the exercise in the warm water proves to be very theraputic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BillyGrahamCracker Posted June 15, 2005 Members Share Posted June 15, 2005 Take care of the cut with some sort of antibiotic (triple-antibiotic) ointment. Keep it clean and wrapped. Also wrap the hand in an Ace bandage if you've got one. +1 on the advil (or the generic walgreens or grocery store brand ibuprofen) And ice the thing for the first three days or so and then switch to heat.
