See below: The best treatment options are rest, ice, compression, and elevation. If that doesn't help try strengthening exercises for your wrist extensors. A specialist may want to consider a cortisone injection or more advance therapy. You might also want to try a strong topical pain cream like AcuPlus. www. AcuPlus.com
