The doctor treated me for gout and gave medicine for pain. After the pain meds wore off the pain is back in my wrist and hand but pain only when I move it a certain way. It was swollen, it s not now but still hurting.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms can be related to gout.
I suggest to check the uric acid level for further evalaution.
Meanwhile, I suggest using an anti inflamamtory medication such as Acetominophen to relieve the inflammation.
If the diagnosis is confirmed, I sugegst using specific treatment such as Allopurinol.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
