Now every time I try to use my right arm I get burning pain in my right wrist area. what can I do to make this better? Doctor: Hi I did review your concernYour pain can be due to carpel tunnel syndrome or any bony pathology irritating your wrist nerves. I would advice you to consult a neurologist and he can diagnose the condition and then probably splinting the hand in a dorsiflexed position or local steroid injection will help you relieve of your pain.I hope this helps.Let me know if you have any more questions or concerns.Wish you healthy and happy life ahead.
