Wrist Injury, Swelling, Pain, Lack Of Strength In Fingers. Cure For Symptoms?
Hello, Thanks for posting your query. You might having soft tissue or ligament injury over your wrist and there might be injury to ulnar nerve at wrist. I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination and treatment plan according to that. Meanwhile take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin to reduce pain and inflammation. Avoid lifting and rest well. Regards. Dr Saurabh Gupta Orthopaedic surgeon
