Suggest Treatment For Constant Pain In Wrist
sudden pain in wrist for abt 4 months when trying to lift anything, even an empty cookie sheet. last night attempted to lift abt 1/2 lbs underside of wrist up, sudden stabbing pain and as time went on it became a very painful ache and a lump began to form on my pulse point. it has grown to abt 1 by 1/2 . the lump itself is not painful but my wrist continues to ache severely. Any ideas?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have constant pain in wrist . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like perform repetitive tasks with your hands such as typing , diabetes , gout , rheumatoid arthritis , osteoarthritis or psoriatic arthritis . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan , x-ray , or physical examination by checking movements . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory and vitamin supplement for quick recovery . For now restrict movements of wrist , apply warm compresses 10 minutes twice a day , avoid lifting heavy weight do gentle massage with almond oil and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
