How can I help a nerve injury in my wrist?

I was recently doing yoga, and I think I pinched a nerve in my wrist. From my pinky to the beginning of my wrist tingles a lot, and it is really bothersome. Anyone else ever have this happen? How can I fix it? Aside from the obvious rest? Thanks!

my doctor perscriced me predisone or u can stabilize it ...put a wrist band one or something,but not too tight

REST: Rest and elimination of activity which aggravates the injury.

ICE: Apply Cold to stop pain and restrict excess Fluid to the injury.

COMPRESSION: To further inhibit swelling caused by excess Fluid to the injury.

ELEVATION: To further inhibit swelling caused by excess Fluid to the injury.

Take an anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen to help with the pain and swelling.

If it does not resolve itself within 1-2 weeks I would go see a neurologist.

GOOD LUCK!
