What To Do For Pain In Wrist And Hand?

I can't lift anything with my left hand. The pain extends from the left side of my wrist to the middle of my forearm. It appears to have a deformity, but no bruising and not much swelling. I was pulling a dresser last night and felt a bunch of "shocking pains" in my wrist all at once and it's gotten worse since.

Hello,
You need to see a doctor. Any time pain worsens acutely there is a concern for damage to a nerve. Please make an appointment and see a doctor as soon as possible
