What Causes Pain In Wrist While Applying Pressure Or Bending?
Hello, I have had a pain in my wrist that s been so painful it brings me to tears. It only hurts if I bend it or put pressure on it. If I use my hand it doesn t hurt that much. It hurts so bad it wakes me up at night. I don t remember hurting my wrist so I doubt it s a fracture or sprain. I went to the hospital and they said it was tendinitis but I honestly do not think so. I am not sure on what else to do. Thanks, Dee
You could be suffering from De Quervain's tendinitis which aggravates on twisting and turning movements of the wrist. Take Tablet Ibuprofen 400mg twice a day. Apply pain killer gel and ice over the painful region for relief. If this does not resolve in 15 days, you can get a Steroid shot which will offer relief for about 3 months.
