What Causes Pain In The Wrists?
Question: I have terrible pain in both of my wrist and have felt a pulling and pop and a little swelling in my right hand which is were this started then my left hand/wrist started doing the same thing. I have a little bump that popped up on the joint of my third finger of my right hand.. It doesn't hurt but bulges out a little and feels a little meduim hard.
Brief Answer:
Continue Ibuprofen and please go for further evaluation
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
The pain in wrist joints, hands and specifically mentioned right third finger indicate an inflammatory process going on and can be due to the following reasons:
Teno-synovitis means inflammation of the sheaths of tendons.
Polyarthritis means involvement of joints.
Surely, Ibuprofen is one good medication for such a problem; preferably taken after food and/or take a PPI like Omeprazole to avoid gastritis.
You may need further clinical evaluation, X-rays and teats of blood to determine the exact cause so that an appropriate further management can be done.
I hope this answer helps you, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
Regards
