If the wrist is swollen and painful, the pain will be relieved by heat, and it is not gout

Swelling and pain in the wrist may be caused by gout, trauma, tenosynovitis, or other diseases.

First, it is a case of gout

If the patient consumes high-purine foods for a long time or drinks a lot of alcohol, it is easy to cause an increase in uric acid in the body, thereby inducing gout. In the acute attack phase, it can cause symptoms such as redness, swelling and pain in the joints, and after receiving a hot compress, it can promote local blood circulation and relieve the symptoms to a certain extent. It is recommended that patients can be treated with drugs such as febuxostat tablets, benzbromarone tablets, etc., under the guidance of a doctor.At the same time, it can also be improved by applying ice packs and cold compresses according to the doctor's instructions.

Second, it is not a case of gout

1. Trauma: If you do not pay attention to the safety of the wrist, the soft tissues of the wrist may be damaged, and it may even be accompanied by obvious symptoms of swelling and pain. At this time, the capillaries can be constricted by applying ice for 48 hours to reduce the amount of bleeding. After 48 hours, warm compresses are used to help improve the condition.

2. Tenosynovitis: If you do heavy physical labor for a long time, the tendon and tendon sheath will be rubbed repeatedly, resulting in aseptic inflammatory reaction, and the above situation will also occur. Generally, the effect of muscle relaxation can be achieved through massage or acupuncture, and closed injection treatment can also be taken if necessary.

In addition, it may also be caused by rheumatoid arthritis and other reasons, and it is necessary to go to the hospital for medical treatment in time.
