What Causes Wrist Pain While Applying Pressure On It?

Hello, I have been getting wrist pain on my right wrist when applying pressure on it and not sure what to do. It s been 2months now and I m an active person and attend gym classes regularly and it s limiting what I can do. Hurts when doing press ups or anything which put pressure on wrist and when lifting weights too. I thought I had sprained it in class but have rested it for 6 weeks (kids off school) and hasn t improved. Please tell me what this maybe and what I can do about it, thanks.

Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you may be having wrist sprain as you are doing lot of gym and press ups. Its treatment is rest to the wrist ,analgesics such as ibuprofen and vitamin B and C. But It has not healed even after rest of 6weeks. Now if pain is decreasing from it was 6 weeks ago, then you no need to worry much ,it will heal gradually.But if pain is increasing then you need to investigate it further by x ray , MRI, ESR and biopsy etc. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
