I have lots of trouble with both of my wrists as part of my fibro symptoms, even holding a pen and writing for a short period makes them so sore. I find it helps to hold them in hot water for a few minutes and this seems to soothe them. That is along with pain killers and pain relieving gel. x

for the pain i have been using tiger balm its a little better but i have found heat to be most effective i really cant wait to get in bed with elctric blanket x

i also have very painful wrist but i also have joint hyper mobility, i just use wrist supports and ibuleve gel as that helps a bit, all of my joints crack and give me load of pain as well as the fibro

Hope your blood tests come back ok

Take care

My wrists started about a month ago, I thought I'd broken my right wrist the pain was so severe, it's now a constant dull ache unless I try to use it then it sends a searing pain !!! Went to dr yesterday as my knees are also agony- her response ... Age/wear and tear/ Fibro... Nothing she can do except she said try glucosamine & chrondroitin, so I am going to !!!

Ask your doc to refer you to occupational therapy - I am lucky in that I have access to a rheumatology occupational therapist. She has given me a wrist splint with thumb restraint to wear. It helps if i wear this even if it's just for a couple of hours a day. After a while it can get a bit hot and heavy. I had carpal tunnel release surgery about 18 months ago.
