hi

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

a thorough clinical examination is advised.

As you are already onto antibiotics and pain killers which are providing symptomatic relief I will advice to undergo physical therapy like therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy for pain relief.

Also some simple exercises of the wrist will help reduce pain, strengthen the muscles and also regain good functional Mobility.

In my clinical practice most cases with such issues recover well with a combination of therapyt and physical therapy.
