A member asked:

How to get relief from chronic wrist and shoulder pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. David Rosenfeld answered

Pain relief: I would start with regular use of otc nsaids like ibuprofen. If you have tried that then see your pcp. You may need xrays and an orthopedic or rheumatology evaluation.
