I've had horrible wrist pain on and off for 4 years. What should I do?
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi, when I was younger I injured my wrist, not really sure what I did to it, I think it was just a sprain. Ever since then my wrist is really painful all the time when doing simple day to day things. I have been to the doctors loads and had x-rays and ultrasounds. All that has been said is I have a gangleon and inflammation in my wrist and that it will go away. This was just over a year ago now and my wrists still constantly hurt. What should I do?

Hi Abbey
My wrist has been hurting for years. I think it's because in the past I have fallen and landed supporting myself with my wrist. The last time I had it x-rayed they told me it was shattered and there was nothing they could do for me. That was about 4 years ago. I visited the hospital again and saw another consultant 18 months ago. This time the consultant looked at the previous x-ray and when he saw me I was shocked because he offered me a complete new wrist. This is how things have improved. If you aren't satisfied keep persevering until you get some satisfaction.

Does it feel like a sprain? How much movement do you have in your wrist? I have experienced the same thing and I have tendonitis in it. As said above, keep nagging the doctors until you're satisfied. In the mean time, you could do some gentle exercises like rolling it for 5/10 minutes a day. If it gets really painful, you could buy yourself a wrist brace - but try not to wear it for too long as your muscles could become weaker. Hope this somehow helps.

Hi, I guess it does feel like a sprain. I was in a wrist brace for quite some time a couple of years ago but stopped wearing it. I sometimes use support bandages for my wrists when I'm having bad days with them. And thank you I will keep persevering with the doctors x
