Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My right wrist started hurting abut six weeks ago and continues to get worse. I did not hurt it. Just woke up with it aching one morning and thought I slept on it wrong or something. Now it s to the point It hurts to brush my teeth, comb my hair, pick up with right hand. unscrew caps, etc. Have it wrapped in ace bandage to keep from bending it. Am right handed and this is really begging to be a problem. BenGay, etc. has not helped. Should I go to Dr or can you give me some advice? Thanks so much
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, it could be single joint condition of arthritis, initially it can be managed with Tab Diclofenac 50 mg once in day but for right diagnosis it may needs x-ray of wrist joint and may also need orthopedic opinion hope this information helps.
