10 Symptoms of a Sprained Wrist
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #9: Cannot Lift Weight
Having hands with opposable thumbs allows us to grasp hold of things. The strength provided by the muscles in our arms also allows us to pick up heavy objects. A tight grip helps to make sure that we can hold on whenever we need to. If you have sprained your wrist, though, then you might struggle to pick up any object at all.
If you do try to pick up objects with a sprained wrist then you might find you just cannot do it. This is the body’s reflexes preventing you from causing any more harm to the injury. As the injury heals you will find that you are able to start picking up even heavy objects again.
