What Causes The Pain And Swelling And Locking Up In Wrist?

I fractured my wrist about two years ago in a bad quad accident, my wrist constantly keeps swelling up and locking up, and hurting pretty frequently. Sometimes I can't even use my wrist after writing for a bit my wrist becomes useless or playing a video game even typing. Why is it still hurting after two years?

Hello,

I Suggest my clinic patients for similar complaints to have a repeat x-ray Wrist joint (AP & Lateral Views) because the Complaints as mentioned by you Points out toward malunion of the fractured bones or there be some Structural Changes in the Carpal Tunnel causing Nerve and/or Vasculature compression and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

As this X-ray need to be checked by an Orthopaedician, So I suggest to have review with orthopaedician after taking an X-ray.

I also suggest the patients to get following Labs tests done:
1) CBP
2) FBS & PLBS
3) HBa1C
4) Serum calcium

If the Pain is severe, I suggest following drugs with following dosage for my Clinic Patients:
1) Tablet ULTRACET Twice daily for 10 days
2) Tablet B-29 Once daily for 1 Month

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Abdullah
