What Is The Treatment For Von Willebrand Blood Disorder?

I am 41yrs old female. I weigh about 170. I have Vonwillebrands blood disorder. One week ago today I woke up with mod-severe right wrist pain. It was swollen and hurt to move. I iced it and took tylenol. It did not relieve pain. I went to my local er two days later and the doctor told me it was carpal tunnel syndrome and possible wrist fracture.Did an xray and said he couldn't see anything. Put my wrist in a removable splint and sent me on my way. I am still have moderate pain one week later. Should I go back in and have this rechecked?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
The current problem that you are facing is that of carpal tunnel syndrome caused by wrist fracture.
You need to consult your orthopedician for clinical assessment and fixation of the fracture.
Fixation of the fracture will relieve the symptoms caused by carpal tunnel syndrome.
VonWillebrand disease is caused by deficiency of VonWillebrand factor (VwF).
Treatment of the disease is replacement with VwF depending on the severity of the disease.

Thanks and take care
