Anyone out there like secretly a doctor or something? My right wrist has been bothering me for weeks now and it simply won't heal. I cannot bend it back more than about 60 degrees without severe pain, like a nerve is being pinched in the radius side of the arm (the one closest to the thumb). I can bend it fully forward at 90 degrees, but there is a slight twinge in roughly the same area, a little more toward the side of the arm. Also, compression of the wrist into the arm amounts in the same pain, even if the wrist isn't trying to go past 60 degrees.
Ice isn't helping it, immobilization isn't helping it, anti-inflammatories don't seem to help. I type in a wrist neutral position. Its gotten aggrivated before but never to this extend, and I don't have insurance. I feel like whatever the problem is, if the doctor can't tell, it would need an MRI which is huge money. In the meantime, its extremely annoying, and I have no idea how to get it to heal.
