Both my wrists are ailing and the doctor said its tendinitis. I think I got it from using computer too much.

The most common cause of tendonitis is overuse. The tendon is unaccustomed to the new level of demand, and this overuse will cause an inflammation and tendonitis.\n\nTo treat your tendonitis:\nrest the area\nprotect the area\napply ice\ntake an anti-inflammatory such as Ibuprofen or Motrin\n\nIf pain persists the doctor can give you cortisone injections.\n\nTo prevent a recurrance:\npurchase the new wrist/hand supports made for computer usage\ntake frequent breaks \nphysical therapy

Do you have a general practioner?  Often they can at least point you in the right direction.  Also, many insurances will cover "specialists" if you have a referral from your family doctor.\n\nOn a side note, I had a similar problem once and I couldn't figure out what started it, until I realized that unconsciously I was placing my feet on the bottom of my computer chair when I sat down to type.  It was causing "welts" that would get tingly when I walked.  Took me about three days to figure out what I was doing to cause it.  Then I felt like an idiot.  ;)

NOOOOOOOOOO chiropractor!!!  I would try lots of stretching and ice.  Check with an MD to determine if you have any underlying conditions.

All of these can cause tendonitis as it is caused by over worked or stressed tendons that cause the tendons to become inflamed (the suffix "itis" means inflammation). Resting when it flares up and ibuprofen products {ibuprofen helps reduce inflammation while Tylenol does not} should help but if it is very painful tell your doc as you may need something more. Every time you move the muscles in the area that hurts will aggravate it so you may want to limit your activity until it feels a bit better, then exercise it slowly working up to full activity as this will make it stronger and lessen the chance of it happening again. Good Luck.

There are a lot of bones in the wrist, if you've moved or fractured a small bone, there c/b changes inside.  It's weird that your pinkie and thumb hurt and the fingers between you haven't mentioned. Pinkie could also be from your lateral epicondyle (elbow) and thumb..De Quervains Tenosynovitis. Ask the doc (or better yet, ask a physiotherapist) to assess you for those conditions too.  How's the other hand? Is this your dominant hand?

sounds like bursitis in the shoulder, get an x-ray and take ibuprofen.

speaking from experience..i broke my leg in 2 place and my wrist in 9 during the same accident.I was out of work for 6 months..i waited and rested as told but also kept stretching and flexing my foot and hand to keep things in motion. if you have had it immobilized for this entire time it will take some rehab.. you may also look at the possibility that your hooked on your pain meds. they will trick your brain into thinking your in pain just so you'll take more. Be careful and good luck

You could have sprained it, did it swell at all? If it did, take some pain killers and try not to use it that much.  The other thing I that I can think of is carpel tunnel syndrome, do you use the computer a lot?

I guess anything is possible, I think your way to young for that, your wrists are probably just tired from working on the computer.

Could be bruised or even fractured, if its causing you alot of pain, go see a doctor.

poor you, thats really hard and pains alot, I have a tendinitis in my shoulder since 6 or 7 month and can't get rid of it. I already got cortisone injektions and I got painkillers. Be patient , it can take a while, and don't be so stupid as I am, because I don't rest enough.

Yes, you should check it consulting with your doctor.\n I had this kind of problem also. I got my wrist twisted  two years before.I had some treatment on it. I thought I will get healed. But after six months i didn't get healed. Then i got serious and checked out by a doctor. After that my wrist give me no problem anymore!

Sounds like you need a DR.,opinion not a bunch of strangers on a computer.I know someone with the same prob. except it's the whole left arm and hand.I guessed a nerve pinched off or maybe poor circulation, but hey I'm no DR.

Sounds like shin splints.  You probably don't need to go to the doctor.  You should stay off your feet awhile, and use a cortisone cream on them.  Take an anti-inflammatory med, unless you have any medical condition which would make that unwise.  If they don't feel better with 3-4 days of relative ease, go to the doctor.  \nIf you're going to play softball and tennis regularly, make sure you're wearing good shoes that are designed for those specific uses, and stretch beforehand.

I do believe you may have what we call tendinitis. When you play ball you are  working your tendons , and if you play allot, you may be over using the same tendons causing friction which then causes the tendon to swell. Very pain full, I have this same condition in my shoulder. doctors usually will recommend an anti-inflammatory cream for this. Here's the crappy thing though....If this is what's wrong, unfortunately it will cause you problems off and on for probably most of your life.\n\nThe best thing for it is rest. Give your arm a break.
