Suggest Treatment For Stiffness And Pain In Wrist Post Injury

Hi, I hurt my wrist about 2 years ago during an ice skating lesson and landed on the palm of my hand with all my weight, since then I have had nothing but problems with it and don t know whether I should see a doctor. I can t bend my hand back or put any weight on it, my wrist stiffens when the weather changes constantly and when it is stiff I lose strength in my hand which causes me to drop stuff often and can t fully move my hand. The pain is in the centre of my wrist and mainly affects the movement of my pointer finger and index finger.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

You can take NSAIDs like Paracetamol and Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen for pain relief. Do rest the limb to prevent further injury. Apply heat.

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

Take care.

Regards,
Dr. Ajeet Singh, General & Family Physician
