Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have wrist pain. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like injuries ( which you have already ruled out ) , osteoarthritis , rheumatoid arthritis , carpal tunnel syndrome , ganglion cysts or kienbock's disease . I would suggest you to give your wrist proper rest for few days , do not try to twist it forcefully , apply warm compresses on wrist along with fore arm and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan or X-ray to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant , anti inflammatory , vitamin supplement for quick recovery or sometimes surgery in case of bone fusion .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
