A member asked:

Left wrist has been swelling over a year no pain what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Hiep Le answered

Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

You need at least an X-ray for that wrist if not done in the past. A visit to an orthopedist can give you a peace of mind. Good luck!
