I broke my wrist and the two bones in my arm i'd say around 5 years ago. The pain in my wrist still comes back from time to time - especially in cold weather and weather like today, humid and rainy.

To make it worse, I have Volleyball class 4th period. Today we played a few games, and everyone on my team is chicken $***. They just let the ball fall right by them. I REALLY got into the game today. Well, I hit it pretty nice, except with my wrist.. a few times on accident. It's hurt like heck, worse than it did this morning, ever since. There no swollen areas so I don't think I damaged it more, but it sure feels like it.

Anyways, the reason I posted is to see if anyone knows of any cheap, over the counter medicine that would relieve me of pain. I may have to ask my Volleyball coach to sit out the next few days.

Thanks for reading.

I fractured my big knuckle on my middle finger trying to open a bottle.

My doctor has prescribed Ibuprofen, which is Advil. It does seem to help.

Hope you feel better soon.

I believe Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory...that should work for the pain.

Does heat or ice help the pain at all?

My dad did give me one of his Ibuprofens, he has quite a few for back pain. The pain isn't as bad as it was before, but it still hurts like heck. I was holding my wrist against Nala and her body heat made it feel a bit better.

Have you tried wearing any sort of wrist brace or support? I sprained my wrist at work last year and wearing that helped more than anything.

Put a brace on it and if heat helps, break out the heating pad.

That's what I was going to suggest.

Maybe one of those new heat wraps they advertise on tv would help too.

Hope it stops hurting.

Oh and for pain, I stand by Motrin. It got rid of the killer migraine I got when my church burned down two days before my wedding last year, so if it worked on that it'll work on anything!
