Broke left wrist 7 years ago and now lots of pain with movement and hand and fingers are swollen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wrist pain: It is possible to get arthritis in the wrist after you've had a fracture there. You should see a doctor to have the swelling evaluated. Until you can see a doc, rest the hand as much as possible, try elevating the hand to reduce the swelling, and use ibuprofen 600 mg every 6 hrs to reduce pain and swelling.
