    Since everyone else is sharing, I hurt my thumb shoving balled up paper into a shoe.
    This video was so helpful, I had to watch it a few times to get the figure 8 part down, but wow this feels so great once you do! Thank you for taking the time to share this information with everyone :)
    For anyone who was also having a tough time with the spica figure 8 part (maybe it was just me, idk):
    -It starts in which direction you start the wrapping when anchoring your wrist, if the start of the bandage is on your inner wrist (like if you're doing it yourself and don't have extra hands) it needs to go upwards on the back of your wrist (side with pinky to side with thumb) and around twice.
    -Then, as if you're about to wrap your wrist a 3rd time, you run it up along the "thumb palm" part of your hand and then between your index finger and thumb, and then you bring the bandage back down to finish that 3rd wrapping around your wrist (in the same direction you would have gone if you didn't wrap your thumb), and then do this one more time.
    I hope this helps anyone who was confused in that part (took me longer than I'd like to admit to figure it out, lol). :)

      De Quervain tenosynovitis. It’s inflammation of the tendon from improper lifting techniques. Instead of just lifting by flicking your hand/wrist, try lifting with the entire forearm.

    I hurt my hand because i was taken by the wind and fell 7-8 feet down to fall where there is big, sharp stones with face first. The doctors say that they are unsure if it's sprained or broken. And I don't have a bandage or a cast. But I think it's broken because I have broken my foot before and it feels just as bad. This happened yesterday. Any tips?

    Since everyone's telling their stories, I lost my balance while trying to catch my Chewbacca squishmallow and was trying to regain it while running (kept falling forward which led me to continuously put a foot forward). There was a concrete pillar in front of me (I was still in the store) so I used my hands to cushion and push to change the direction i would fall and avoid smashing my head on concrete. I caught Chewy tho 🙈✨
