Wrist pain
Three days ago, I lifted and carried a heavy CPU case up several flights of stairs. Since then, I’ve been experiencing pain in my right wrist, which has now spread to the forearm. In the past day, my left wrist has also started hurting.
The pain has been gradually increasing, and I am now unable to type or work on the computer (my daily work involves continuous computer use). There is no visible swelling or redness, but the pain increases with wrist movement or when lifting light objects.
I am naturally slim (BMI ~17) and have small wrists.
Please advise if this is likely a muscle or tendon strain, and whether I should see an orthopedic doctor or physiotherapist, or if it can be managed at home with rest, ice, and topical gel.
