Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Wrist And Fingers
Hi Doctor, my wrist on the outer side along the small / pinky finder hurts so much folding it backwards and forwards. Took Ibuprofen overnight, but when I woke up it is the same pain if not more painful folding the fingers in. The only reason I could think that triggered this was the sudden jerk pulling the lead of my dog when it panicked while we were walking. Please help.
i read your question and understand your concern i would like to ask that * from how long you are having such pain? * is their any tingling sensation /numbness ? * is your ring and half of middle finger also involved/ * your profession i mean using computer/typing too much? * is there any rounded swelling over your wrist joint?(ganglion ) so if i would be your treating doctor i would suggest pain killer/anti inflammatory and also topical anti inflammatory/pain killers and apply one crepe bandage over your affected wrist and hand and take rest as well and after these all you can also go for one x-ray wrist/hand of the affected side to remove any doubt i hope my answer will satisfy you good luck & tc
