Wrist pain

Posted , 9 users are following.

My left wrist started hurting about 2 weeks ago. Every day it seems to get worse. Now I can hardly use it at all. No real bad pain anywhere else just headaches which I think is from the pred. Has anyone had bad wrist pain?

    Its the only pain I can never get rid of no matter what I do. Headaches have gone since I spread the daily dose of Pred throughout the day in small doses. So have head sweats.

    Would a wrist splint help?  It may let it rest a bit - Jan

    I also have the wrist pain that radiates down to my thumbs. Gets better after a few hours..also sometimes get headaches that awaken me from a sound sleep. Just another few things we have to deal with I guess!

    That doesn't sound like "just" PMR - you should get your doctor to check it. A wrist splint may help rest it and reduce the pain.
