How Can Pain And Swelling On The Thumbs And Wrists Be Treated?

What to do for a swollen thumb and wrist that is very sore . I don t know what is wrong, except I was trimming the dead stalks from a climbing rose bush and a thorn stuck me. It hurt, but I just kept on working, and 3 days later the thumb was sore and swollen. Then in a couple of days the wrist is sore and it hurts to use my fingers because of the swelling and soreness, and that makes them weak.

Hi,

As a first line management, you can try analgesics like Tramadol or Diclofenac for pain relief.

If symptoms persist, better to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.
