Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you may be having scaphoid fracture. It is confirmed by x ray wrist AP and oblique views. It needs immobilization by plaster. Sometimes internal fixation by operation is required. Analgesic such as ibuprofen are helpful in relief of pain. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. You can also write to me directly on below link:
