How To Treat The Swelling And Pain In My Left Wrist?

Hello For the second time in two weeks I have a swelling & considerable pain in my left wrist. The first time I felt that a vein was blocked so took Aspirin 3 times that day. The swelling started to go down within an hour & then progressively got better. It wasn t 100% but not so painful. I have the same thing again now & feel it is a blockage. I am sure you will recommend getting it checked however is a blocked vein an urgent problem or will I be given anticoagulants anyway? Leanne

Hello,

Looking at your details it does not looks to be vein blockage.Such pain with swelling can be due to:
-Synovitis of wrist
-Rheumatoid arthritis
-Gout
-Injury
I shall advise you to have a complete blood examination including CBC, serum uric acid, ESR, RA factor to rule out problem. At this time, taking preparation containing indomethacin or salicylic acid on prescription will help you.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
