I just hurt my wrist too, in a freak volleyball accident. I got it x-rayed a few days ago and it's just sprained and not broken. I've been playing the drums anyway though, and just icing it a lot before and after. I've been playing volleyball anyway too, which probably isn't a great idea. I've also been wearing a stablizer which seems to be helping. Hope yours feels better before your gig, and that you're not broken!
Katy,
The truth is that a sprain needs rest. I would not Ice it down before you play. "Slowly" heat it up. Ice down really good when you get finished. But if you are going to keep playing, slowly warm it up. All you are doing is decreasing the swelling before you play. Then you are playing with cold musculs and Joints. I would try to rest it as much as possible but don't listen to me,
go ask your doctor!!!
