Sir I have some sort of pain and a little swelling since last two or more months in my right hand wrist near thumb bone origin .two months ago I went to an orthopaedic who consulted me tablets like rejoint and altraday together with a wrist-thumb belt. He also advised me to apply ice regularly. I got rid off the pain but only for few days and it starts growing regularly .what is this? How can it be cured permanently. Remember I am getting pain irregularly ,more in the dusk and little in the day.

Pain in that area at your age is most commonly due to tenosynovitis, that is, inflammation of the covering over the thumb tendons, either due to direct injury or due to overuse for some specific activity or occupation. It takes a few weeks to resolve completely. The more rest it gets during this period, the better the healing and lesser the chances of relapse. If it does not subside by 3-4 weeks or recurs frequently, you might benefit from a local steroid injection around the tendon.
