Suggest treatment for stiffness and pain in wrist
Patient: Ive lost flexabity and have pain in my right wrist. when I dont move it for even a short while it becomes so difficult to bend it normally and painful, I end up using my other hand to move it back and forth until it can sort of move more normally but for more than a week Ive not been able to turn or pull it back by itself without a good deal of pain. its a little swollen just at the bend of the wrist but thats kinda gone down and today it hurts when I m not trying to move it.????? thank you for your time but at this time I m unable to pay the cost so have a good day and thanks again. God Bless But I dont have to money even if you do satisfiy my questions thank you anyway, Doctor: hi,thank-you for providing the brief history of you.A thorough clinical neuromuscular assessment is advised.As you have stiffness and pain in the right wrist joint, you need a thorough neuromuscular assessment as the flexibility cannot be disturbed by smaller issues. understanding the complete mechanism of the wrist joint will help assist in helping you further.Trying out physical therapy will be of good choice, as it will help improve the ROM and flexibility. Also strength can be achieved and the pain and restriction can be Avoided.In my clinical practice such cases care related to CTS and they respond well to physical therapy.RegardsJay Indravadan Patel
