I had a lot of pain in one wrist which started last Wednesday, so went to the GP on Monday. I figured a sprain wouldn't last 5 days.
I think the doctor said, "something something tendonitis", but to be honest it had so many syllables I just got confused. So confused in fact that the GP laughed at the look on my face
So now I have to have my wrist strapped up and take anti-inflammatories, which annoyingly I already take daily for back pain. Unfortunately this does seem to mean they don't achieve as much as they used to.
Anyone else have or have had this? What else did you find helps? If anything?
It's driving me mad, there's already very little I can do thanks to my back. So having what I can do restricted thanks to this damn wrist pain is really annoying.
