Suggest Treatment For Increasing Pain In Right Wrist With Pressure

I have worsening right wrist pain. the pain is mostly on the radial side, and hurts worst when pressure is applied with the wrist extended (ie--bracing myself to stand up after sitting). It also hurts when lifting heavy objects, and twisting lids off of cans. I have no pain on movement of my thumb and there is no pain on palpation. I play guitar and have assumed that maybe it is a stress injury from that. What could this be and how should i treat it? Thank you!

HI
Well come to HCM
This could be typical condition of nerve irritation or swelling at the wrist,
Try to maintain good angle while using hand with wrist joint
NSAID can be used and best would be Tab Diclofenac 50 mg once in day
If not come around then surgical intervention may be needed
Still clinical examination and investigation would be last judge
take care.
