What Are the Treatments for Wrist Pain ?

Treatment options for CTS may include:

  • wearing a wrist brace or splint to reduce swelling and ease wrist pain
  • applying hot or cold compresses
  • taking oral or injected anti-inflammatory drugs
  • surgery, in severe cares

If you have undergone a wrist injury, you can help healing by:

  • resting your wrist and keeping it elevated
  • placing an ice pack on the affected area to lower swelling and numb pain
  • taking a mild pain reliever such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen
  • wearing a wrist splint

Get immediate medical attention if you cannot move your wrist or if any part of your hand looks deformed. You may have broken a bone.

If you have arthritis, consider visiting a physical therapist. A physical therapist can show you some strengthening and stretching exercises for your wrist.

If you have gout, your doctor may recommend:

  • taking an anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen or naproxen
  • drinking lots of liquid to reduce the concentration of uric acid
  • cutting back on fat and alcohol intake
