Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you developed post traumatic arthritis in left wrist. You have already lost 70% of movements of wrist joint. So in my opinion best treatment option to reduce pain is wrist arthrodesis. If you are not willing to o[perative treatment ,then Diacerine, glucosamine sulfate will be of use. Diclofenac sodium slow release tablets will be of useful for pain relief. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
