Possibility Arthritis in my wrist? No Medical Insurance!?!


Question: Possibility Arthritis in my wrist.? No Medical Insurance!.?
I am 19 I broke my wrist skate boarding and have to have surgery on it when I was 15. My mom has Arthritis and I have always thought I had it in my back because It hurts a lot when I do any heavy lifting or in any cold weather.
I was hit in the arm 2 days ago and my wrist which i had surgery on they put 2 metal pins in it for just a few months all of a sudden is constantly hurting.

My parents removed me from their medical insurance a few months ago so I can't go see a DR now =[

I need advice on what I should do and what can help get rid of the pain. Its a very dull constant pain the comes when my wrists are very active typing / guitar / drums / ect... Health Question & Answer


Answers:
First off you need to be wearing a wrist support when doing any activities such as typing, guitar Or drums. this will help you tremendously. You can purchase these at most major drug stores. Secondly place a moist heating pad on the wrist for twenty minutes. Afterwards massage an analgesic cream into the area. Do this at least twice daily. also take Advil liquid capsules three times daily to help reduce the inflammation and pain. Health Question & Answer

It is probably not arthritis, but carpal tunnel. The best thing you can do while you are looking for a job that has health insurance benefits is to wrap it. Keeping it wrapped will keep the warmth in and will help a lot. also there is an accupressure point right by your 'funny bone' on your elbow.. rub it firmly (not so hard it is painful) and should help with the wrist pain.

Sounds like carpal tunnel syndrome, actually, although you will want to keep an eye on things if it starts to really hurt or get really stiff. Keep your wrist supported, put a wrist band on, and keep it rested for a day or so. It'll usually feel better after that.Health Question & Answer
