How Can Severe Pain In The Arm Be Treated?

my bf injured his wrist about a month ago at work. I think a power tool twisted his wrist while he was using it. we have been to 2 emergency rooms within a month, but he never followed up with his regular physician. since the time of his injury, he has and still is experiencing a lot of pain. his left wrist toward the inside of his arm. he says its painful all the way around.. the 2nd er we went to supposedly did an exray and said it wasn t broken.. what should he do for the pain and swelling right now? of course, ive advise him to follow up for a better look at it. he has been using ibuprofen, tonight we switched to alieve.. he has soaked in warm water, cold water, wrapped it, unwrapped it.. we really don t know what else to do
