Kienbock's disease causes chronic pain and disability. Depending upon the stage of disease, if your pain doesn't subside with painkillers, you may go for cortisone injections in wrist or surgical intervention. Find a good orthopedic surgeon for expert opinion. It has certain complications if left untreated. Meanwhile, immobilizing your wrist may help in alleviating pain.
