Questionable advice

galaxy_girl00 has been suffering yesterday and today with a hurty wrist. Not sure what it is; whenever she moves it in certain directions, she gets shooting pains down the outsides of her wrist. Symptoms don't sound quite right for RSI, but she can't think of any incident where she might have injured it, either.

Yesterday she was keeping it bound up and trying not to move it, which I thought was sensible, given that moving causes hurtyness. This morning, however, she phoned NHS 24, who advised her to "keep it mobile". I advised her, in turn, to ignore this advice, and to go in and see a real doctor instead.

(No offense meant to nurses — some of them are competent.)
