Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I fractured my left wrist 3 years ago. It healed without surgery. However, for the past week I have been experiencing discomfort to the point of wearing my wrist brace, especially at night. It feels like I sprained it. I have Voltaire Gel that I ve used for past 3 days and am taking one Aleve 220 mg a day. Can I increase the Aleve? Thank you, Suzi
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If your pain is unbearable you can increase it like 2 tablets a day. But it is better to use Voltaire Gel. Apply it 3 times a day morning, afternoon, and evening.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
