My right hand has been hurting since this summer, every time i shake people hands it hurts alot, anything i can do???
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Injury?Overuse?: Need to rest that hand. Wave and don't shake. Might try a wrist splint to limit movement. Did you injure it this summer while active? If you aren't allergic and no liver or kidney problems, you can take Advil/motrin/ibuprofen over the counter even up to 3 200mg tabs by mouth 3 times a day or every 8hours. If you don't have money to spend on a splint, an ACE bandage or even stretchy sports tape.
