What May Be The Cause For Severe Pain In The Wrist?

My right wrist has become very painful when I use it to do everyday activities. I fell three weeks ago when I didn t see that the sidewalk was ending, and only really noticed a very painful sprained ankle. But as my ankle pain eased, my wrist pain has gotten worse.

Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to the injury. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest to avoid overuse of the wrist and maintain it immobilized. I suggest to use cold compresses for local relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
