What do you suggest if my wrist has been hurting for a couple of days now, i play video games and type on the computer occasionally. do i have the wrist syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Overuse: Just take a break occasionally and it will improve, almost all overuse injuries are cured by rest, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory meds such as Motrin or Meloxicam, and time. Not sure what the 'wrist syndrome' you are you referring describes, but this us a good recipe for less pain
