What Causes Pain And Swelling In Left Wrist?

I was up most all night with pain in left wrist and swelling. I took 2 gen. Advil and put a carp. Tun thingee on the wrist...the pain was really bad. I laid on belly with wrist under pillow. Swelling went down a bit by time to get up. I broke arm when 5 and in early 30s the bridge that went over ligaments??? Was broken and never repaired. Sound like arthritis and should I use cold or hot. Thanks for whatever you say.
