What Is The Treatment For Severe Pain In The Hand And Wrist?

I m 17 and have pain in my hand/wrist. I have no idea how it happened. I don t remember doing anything and noticing sudden pain, I just noticed it. I play football and am a goalkeeper so I don t know if this could have caused it. The pain is under my thumb and on top of my wrist. It hurts a lot if I bend my wrist and lean on it. Sort of like sudden pain. It hurts if I tap on the to of my wrist and I can t even play the guitar without it hurting. It s getting annoying as it seems to be hurting no matter what I m doing. The pain is in my left wrist/hand and I m a female.

Hi,

It seems you have strained your wrist ligaments so I will suggest you to do hot and cold therapy (do take a bowl of lukewarm water and another of cold water, dip your hand in hot water for three minutes then dip in cold water for one minute, do it 7-10 times). Apply crepe bandage as it will give support to your wrist. Don't do any forceful or sudden activities as it might cause jerk to wrist and your pain may aggravates.

Hope you will find the answer useful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr, Harsh Swarup
