you seem to be having rheumatoid arthritis currently the inflammation and flare involving the wrist.
the medication needed for the control of this illness are not available without prescription
please see the rheumatologist ASAP in the interim you can use over the counter pain remedies and anti inflammatories which may give you some relief
