What Causes Wrist Pain?

I am having wrist pain on my left side. I have had it since Monday and i have used my wrist sprint that i got when the v shaped bone moved out of place, and that was two years ago. I have used cold compresses and have taken Lortabs with no difference.

Hello,

this could be a tendinitis or a tenosynovitis.
it's best to ice the area and take an anti inflammatory medicine like ibuprofen. Wear the brace 24/7. If no better in 2-3 days please see your doctor.

I hope this helps. Please message us back if you have any more questions

best wishes
