10 Symptoms of a Sprained Wrist
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #3: Bruising
The body receives nutrients through a network of tubes that carry blood that transports the nutrients. This network travels throughout the body including the extremities. These blood vessels will usually have no difficulty in containing the blood and other fluids, but they are not impervious to damage.
When you sprain your wrist, you might also damage the blood vessels in the region of the injury. This can cause the blood within to leak out until the body can plug the leak. This is often visible from the outside and is commonly known as bruising. Bruising is temporary and will likely only last for a few days, or a few weeks in severe cases.
