Treatments for wrist problems vary greatly, depending on the type, location and severity of the injury, as well as on your age and overall health. Over the counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen, your doctor may inject the area with cortisone, a powerful anti-inflammatory drug.

Therapy if you have a broken bone in your wrist, the pieces will need to be aligned so that it can heal properly. Wear a wrist splint at night while you sleep. This helps reduce the swelling. Keep your wrist elevated. Apply ice to the tender and swollen area.
