10 Symptoms of a Sprained Wrist
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #5: Heat
Even an injury that looks insignificant on the outside can be a disaster zone on the inside. The body will be sending its version of emergency crews and resources to prevent intruders and repair the damage. This means sending a lot of blood to the area as it brings resources in and takes spent resources out.
Blood is warm, so more blood means more heat. The area becomes warmer than usual and the extra heat can often be felt to the touch. The extra blood flowing through the region will also cause the area to become redder than usual. This means the heat is actually a sign that the body is working on repairing the injury.
