A member asked:

My wrist hurts so bad after taking anti inflammatory drugs - why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See doctor: An allergy is very unlikely. Perhaps arthritis is getting worse, the anti-inflammatory helped - and you felt better and used the wrist more, or you could have tendonitis. See your doctor.
