Swelling and pain in the wrist are related to prolonged overuse. It could also be caused by rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and appropriate treatment, including a wrist X-ray. Topical application of Voltaren cream may help relieve discomfort, and local steroid injections could also be considered. However, massage should be avoided as it may worsen the condition. In severe cases, surgical intervention at a hospital may be necessary.
