Why Is My Wrist Swollen Up With Pain?
I broke my wrist 2 years ago. All of a sudden last week it started to hurt at work while I typed. Over the weekend it has swollen up and is extremley painful. I have it wrapped in a ace bandage. I didn t do anything to hurt it, why is it so swollen and it hurts like I broke it all over again.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to a wrist sprain.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
I also suggest using cold compresses for local application.
I recommend to maintain a brace to maintain the wrist immobilized.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
