On And Off Extreme Pain In Both Wrists Even With Slight Movement. History Of Spraining Both Wrists. Presence Of Some Kind Of Cyst Or Calcium Deposit In One Wrist. Help

I have sprained both my wrists multiple times and ever since I have had extreme pain in both wrists. The pain comes and goes days/weeks at a time. I know I have some kind of cyst or possible calcium deposit in one but my doctor says it won't effect me. All I know is the slightest manuevering of my wrists will cause a lot of tenderness and aches. Picking up, lifting, applying pressure. PLEASE HELP!!

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

See an orthopaedician and/or Rheumatologist
Have an X-ray to exclude fracture.
You may need more investigations...

Rest to the part (Splinting if necessary & avoiding weight bearing) is important
Cold compress in first days / later warm compress - help
Physiotherapy helps
Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs like ibuprofen reduce pain & inflammation
Gabapentin and/or antidepressants are helpful - they raise the pain threshold, irrespective of the cause

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
