Think I have some kind of RSI thing going on woth my wrist - what's the treatment?

[MegaLegs]

I've always had very weedy wrists and have had episodes of pain in the past - it's always stopped after a day or two and was usually sport related.

For the last two weeks I have had a constant pain in my right wrist, made worse by lugging heavy tables at the w/end.

It's most painful when I pick up and carry DS4, a hefty, almost 2 year old who is not walking yet due to SN. I think that is what's causing the RSI.

Should I just strap it up with something like this and carry on or is there a specific treatment for this sort of thing?

Off to get DS3 so TIA to any replies, will check when I get back.

where is the pain

have you looked at dequervains

Have just googled that fox but my pain is on the other side, on the outside of my wrist if I hold my palms face down.

There is an area just below the knobbly bit that sticks out on my wrist joint that is really sore and a little puffy.

Is it more painful if you use that hand to push yourself up from a sitiing position?

Not to bad when I push, The most painful movement is any sort of twisting movement e.g peeling spuds and grating cheese as I discovered last night, also really painful if DS3 pulls on it. I mostly notice it as I lift DS4 with my hands under his armpits and then carry him. That's the side I carry him and curling my arm around him is painful.

Not too bad
