Wristband/topical: Try a wristband to limit movement, but if that fails, see a specialist to x Ray the site to evaluate bony overgrowth. Topical NSAIDS can also be helpful

Common after trauma: You most likely are suffering from a posttraumatic arthritis. You can take an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory such as Advil or Aleve. Follow the instructions only on the day that you have pain
