Suggest Treatment For Constant Pain After A Fall At The Ulna Joint

I injured my left wrist at the ulna joint on MOnday. It is in constant pain at the palmar side of the ulna joint. It basically hurts constantly regardless if I am sleeping or eating or daily activities. It hurts on all movements but especially on wrist rotation and especially on flexion (thumb towards forearm). Ice and Aleve have been unsuccessful. I have not had any xrays taken. Very minor swellling if any.

Hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised along with x-ray.

As you have injured your left wrist joint which pains at the ulnar side and certain movements give you pain, Taking an x-ray will be good to see if any hairline fracture or dislocation of the carpal bones is there. Post which with resting the joint in a wrist brace will help stabilize the joint and healing will occurs. Later stages undergoing physical therapy if the muscles are weak will be of choice.
