    Wrist is killing tonight, had some panadeine but finding it hard to get comfy.
    Not looking forward to waiting this time round, it's never been THIS bad, always ached but this is different

    Hopefully the pic attaches as a link, not a great pic but you get the idea

    try and get some nurofen plus hun (or similar) - has the pain killers and anti inflammatory action as well. it will likely give you more relief

    If the pain gets too bad or you can't cope before August (a long time!) go to emergency. That's what it's for and you shouldn't be desperate, you poor thing! See if the ortho has a wait list to see him before August, and see if you can get put on it (are you available at short notice?).

    I used to be an ortho nurse and saw too many people decondition (lose the muscle tone) because they'd put up with it for too long, so don't put off getting pain relief help if you need it. No other advice, but just good luck.
