..I have a mild sprain from using a punching bag while irritated. It hurt the day of, but not at all?. in my two days off work. Now I'm back at work, on day three since my injury, where I use two keyboards and three mice(emergency telecommunications) and it hurts. BAD. I'm locked in for the next several hours and I can tough it out. Obviously I'm going to be doing some hot/ice treatment. Is it too late in the game for a compression wrap? Will that help with the irritation from small movements?

Yes a compression rap should help you reduce the swelling, however I recommend that you should also apply ibuprofen cream or possibly even deep heat if it's muscle ache.
I can't tell you wich one I would recomend more without being able to tell if your pain is being caused by a strain or a sprain?
I also advise you contact your doctor if this continues to get worse.
I hope you find my advice to be helpful.
The swelling is mostly on the outside of my wrist in the joint area. I think it's mostly tendons in there, which points to sprain.
