Excruciating pain in my wrists.

Hello everyone,

Hope you are as well as you can be.

Just wondered does anyone suffer with this.. it came on suddenly in both wrists, had it for a month, then it died down for a couple of days. Now got it back in my left wrist, and right one not feeling as bad.... yet. I’m at my wits end. I desperately need to get back to work, and live with a lesser pain than I am in now. I am taking co-codomol prescription medium strength, tramodol and my usual pre-gabilin, venlafexine, ceritizine.

Would love to her your thought.

Take care and gentle hugs.

I sometimes get similar pain shooting up my arm from my wrist, I was told its tendonitis, maybe make your gp aware of this latest pain you have.

Hey Hun,

I would suggest having a chat with your GP if it's a new symptom and you cannot get the pain under control; I do get this but not constantly; I have been advised its just part of my Fibro :) xxx

I get it on the inside of both elbows. Comes and goes. I think it's tendinitis as I get it in Achilles' tendons too x

Yes I agree with DanielleGemma and have a word with your GP it could be a few things. Carpel tunnel, OA, to name but two both very painful and may be helped by wearing wrist splints which I use myself. But I think your GP would be the one to seek advice from as I know the pain can be awful :( xx

My wrists are very weak and painful and I drop or throw things by accident. I found wrist supports helpful when really painful as it keeps them in correct position, if I move them suddenly or twist them it is excruciatingly painful. Physio gave me wrist supports. All the best

Me too and I also have a ganglion cyst on my right wrist which also causes pain! :( New body please?!?!?

Excuse me, I have been in the "new body" queue for decades, get in line if you want to join !! The end of the queue is just past Jupiter, veering left towards the " lottery winner" queue. Mind your back.
