    You should get it checked out with your doctor. It's probably dislocated or something. 💕Take Care of your hand and 👏 for protecting the baby.👍smile

    Definitely get it  checked out. If you are in UK go to your GP who may refer you to an orthopaedic surgeon,who will ask for an xray and then decide on treatment. Dont ignore this injury...it could become very arthritic and painful in later life,if not sorted out.

    Hi Joe!You saving the baby is very touching and heroic. Yes, I agree with the other comments about getting a doctor or orthopaedic surgeon to take a look at your wrists. I hope it all works out for you and your wrists get back to normal soon.
