Hi, i have tendinitis in my wrist which has been there for about 4 years. what specialist would be best to visit to assess and fix my wrist? i have tried physio, and have had a cortisone injection a few years back, but neither solved the problem

Several options: Physical medicine and rehabilitation PMR docs are trained in non surgical approaches, while orthopedic surgeons are trained in both surgical and non surgical methods. Sounds like you are still aggravating your wrist with activity. Learning ergonomic ways to perform tasks without re injury will be important to resolve these issues. Good luck
