Could The Bruising, Pinching Pain And Swelling Of Wrist Be Indicative Of Something Serious?
I had a pinching pain in my wrist and noticed the vein was inflammed, it was about an inch long. I can normally only just see veins but it was about 5mm wide. It was painful to touch and dissipated after about 30 mins. It gas left a bruise were the swelling was. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hello, Thanks for your query
According to your description , pain and swelling over your wrist seems to be inflammatory in nature. I advice you to give you rest to the part affected, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination of wrist and rule out any infective cause . I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
