Suggest Treatment For Wrist Pain After Injury

Posted on Mon, 2 Jan 2017

Question: I broke my wrist and I have a cast but the pain is almost unbearable. I am taking OxyContin, 20 MG every 12 hours but the pain is almost unbearable. What should I do?

Brief Answer:
Cast can be tight or wrongly placed.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Cast is supposed to provide relief to the broken wrist. If it is causing an unbearable pain then may be it is too tight or is wrongly placed. It is best to consult your orthopedician and get it adjusted or attend an emergency care.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
You can increase it to thrice a day. Try to keep the wrist rested on a pillow to help reduce the swelling.
