Wrist Pain Due To A Vein Running Towards The Index Finger, Erupts Due To Unconscious Movements, Difficulty In Holding, Relief On Massaging. Cure?
Hello Doctor, For about almost 3 years now I get this awful pain in only in my right wrist . Certain unconscious movements cause this pain in this one vein along the side of my wrist running upwards to my index finger . I often have to bear with it or use moisturizer and massage it for 15 mins. at least for it to go away. I teach and cannot write on a board or hold a pen or type on a computer when this happens. What is this condition and why does it keep happening. What can I to prevent it? Thank you very much in advance. Regards. Anjana Cherian

Hi Anjana,
Welcome to HCM
Based on the description given you might well be having Tenosinovitis .
Using pain killers like Diclofenac or Aceclofenac in combination with serratiopeptidase shall reduce the pain. Steroids ( either oral ar injectable) might have to be used in some cases
Tenosinovitis usually occurs due to trauma and increased friction of tendon on bone surface .
Using a wrist brace would prevent the excessive movement of tendons and reduce the pain. Cold or hot fomentation will have a soothing effect.
Please see an Orthopaedician and take his advice on the treatment required in case if the above measures fail.
Wish you a healthy life.
