Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Swelling And Pain In Wrists And Heels?
I am noticing swollen joints or bumps on my wrists and now on the back of my heal that makes it hurt when I use my wrists and to walk. It seams that I am getting these from nothing. I had an exray on my wrist said it was severe artitis however I have never had these hard lumps like.
The symptoms seem to be related to arthritis. I suggest to use anti inflammatory medications such as Naproxen to relieve the inflammation. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application. I recommend gentle stretching exercises. If the symptoms continue, you should see a rheumatologist.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
