How Can A Sprained Wrist Be Treated?
Question: I have strain in my left wrist joint. The joint movement is ok but while lifting any small weight as well it is paining a lot it has been there from 2 weeks.
Brief Answer:
Wear wrist brace.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have read your query.
In wrist sprain I usually advise wearing of wrist brace for about a month, to my patients because ligaments usually take a month to heal.
Avoid weightlifting also.
Have tab.aceclofenac100mg+serratiopeptidase15mg thrice a day by prescription of your doctor as this medicine is not over the counter.
Apply cold packs for 3 days then hot packs for 7 days.
Avoid using laptop as much as you can.
I hope it helps.
Thanks,
