I'm having increase pain in my right wrist (I'm a lefty). My wrist feels sprained so much I put a brace on it. It's still throbbing and very tender to the touch.
I rubbed Arcina cream on it, but it's not easing.

What do you guys do to ease a joint flare?

Hey couch,

Sprained wrist feelings along with claw hands that would not close led me to this prednisone stint.

However- when these symptoms are not prolonged a nice wrap in an ace bandage, my HandEze glove wrist wraps, Running them under hot water. Soaking in the hot tub. Wrapping them in a heating pad, icy hot applied like hand cream, Advil every 3-4 hrs.

These are a few of my favorite things...

May you find relief!

All my best

Hi Couch,

I have terrible pain in my wrists. They are swollen and the swelling seems to move up my arms. But my wrist just hurt so bad and have that sprained feeling to them also. I bought a pair of the Tommy Copper half-finger compression gloves that seem to help some. I also use lidocaine ointment that offers temporary relief from the joint pain.

Hope you have some relief soon!
