Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Wrist And Fingers

Hi Doctor, my wrist on the outer side along the small / pinky finder hurts so much folding it backwards and forwards. Took Ibuprofen overnight, but when I woke up it is the same pain if not more painful folding the fingers in. The only reason I could think that triggered this was the sudden jerk pulling the lead of my dog when it panicked while we were walking. Please help.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
i read your question and understand your concern
i would like to ask that
* from how long you are having such pain?
* is their any tingling sensation /numbness ?
* is your ring and half of middle finger also involved/
* your profession i mean using computer/typing too much?
* is there any rounded swelling over your wrist joint?(ganglion )
so if i would be your treating doctor i would suggest pain killer/anti inflammatory and also topical anti inflammatory/pain killers and apply one crepe bandage over your affected wrist and hand
and take rest as well
and after these all you can also go for one x-ray wrist/hand of the affected side to remove any doubt
i hope my answer will satisfy you
good luck & tc
