Hi Gourab.

Have you been working a lot on the computer? Since when do you have the swelling and pain?

You have to think of Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). If you have the CTS, there should be some numbness on the fingers or some weakness. The median nerve gets trapped.

Have you got any orthopedician see the wrists? Do you have the pain in any specific positions of the wrist?

No there is no numbness ....i do a lot work at my computer ...but it does not hurt then ...but it hurts when there is a jerk (eg. when playing a cut shot) and when i try to work out using my wrist

Sorry about those before.......can u plz. suggest me of some wrist exercise as a remedy

Hello.

Is it only one wrist or both the wrists?

I guess before you start exercising for the wrist pain, you need to get a diagnosis. The exercise should not worsen the condition even more. It will be hasty on my part to suggest you an exercise right now.

And when you mention the "cut" shot, is it cricket?

Its the right hand ...and it faces difficulty playing Cut shot in cricket ....but its invalid as i don't play cricket...........I went to see a Ortho. sp. two months back....nothing was found in the Xray so he concluded it was nothing dangerous and told me to take rest(no stress)
...i did that and the pain was gone but now again it has started and it is a bit difficult for me to visit him now as my exams are near

plz. help !

Hello.

I am still not clear about the cut shot. Anyways, it seems the wrist has either been injured or is being used a lot for some work which requires constant muscle and tendon work. Typing is one of them.

You should also rule out arthritis. Try some anti-inflammatory drugs to see any changes.
