Swelling wrist painful
Hi sorry to hear this as it sounds painful. Unfortunately there are no medics on here and even if there were you couldn't be diagnosed over the net.
There could be lots of reason for this so you need to see a doctor asap.
Could be many things, need to see a doctor asap as already advised.
The swelling could be pressing on the nerves giving you the pins n needles, maybe an anti inflammatory would be good to try whilst you waiting for gp appointment or some ice on it to try n reduce swelling. Lots of things possibly caused swelling, I'm sure you would of remembered a fall or landing on it.......unless under the influence of a good night! Could you of been bitten and you are having an allergic reaction, I was bitten by a spider on my knee once and it swelled up so much I couldn't bend knee. If you can see a bite mark maybe an anti histamine might help. You could of been bitten whilst sleeping so of not noticed it at the time. I once got bitten (again) and needed 2 rounds of anti biotics I don't know what bit me that time as happened whilst asleep.
I think other things are more medical and a proper assesment would be needed but best see dr as soon as possible especially as the nerves are involved.
