Patient's question:
At the age of 60, because I had to take care of my newly born grandson day and night, I took very good care of the child. An eight-month-old baby was almost over 20 pounds, very heavy. During one of his tantrums, I bent down to pick him up, and he struggled fiercely, twisting his wrist. Can a wrist with bursitis be cured?Doctor's answer:
If you have tenosynovitis in your wrist, it can cause the wrist to swell and ache again. This is mainly due to overexertion from taking care of children. Additionally, as you age, your physical functions may decline, making you more prone to injuries. You can take some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and apply warm towels for cold compresses and massages. You can also combine these with traditional Chinese medicine treatments such as acupuncture and medium-frequency electrotherapy.
