Stabbed wrist

2017-12-24 13:24:38
I accidentally stabbed my wrist yesterday with a pocket knife. It was fine besides being a little sore. I woke up this morning and it was just a little swollen and hurts to move my fingers, but I can move them. Should I wrap it and rest it or leave it unwrapped and keep it moving?
