moderate-severe pain when moving or using wrist. started few weeks ago, went away for a while but is back and worse. splinting helps a little,  cant grip or make a tight fist or twist wrist without sharp excruciating pain. no finger involvement. ?

Accepted Answer

Give it time: If splinting helps - do it and be patient. Also try  both warm and cold - use both or either if it helps. Let it rest for days and days. It takes time to heal. If it's still bad - have an eval - carpal tunnel can be tough but can be treated. Patience and caution! Best wishes.
