Hi,

First of all, it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, you need to consult an orthopedic surgeon and get your wrist X-ray done again.

After 5 years this pain should end bit if it's still there then get workup done. I would recommend you to continue physiotherapy. and try taking over the counter painkillers like paracetamol.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
