Still an issue

Still having daily wrist joint pain. Most often the meds are wearing off before the timeframe is up, so i cant take anymore. Holding the baby, or holding the breastmilk, make it hurt more and strain the wrist.

Sept 25

Still noting wrist pain, swollen veins in the wrist area, taking 2 tylenol arthritis and 4 ibuprofen at a shot, usually takes over an hour but does take away the ache and pain. Noticing though doesnt stay away for the full 6 hours before pain returns. Somedays only taking 6 pills once a day, but often twice a day. Usually though have not had to take it 3 times a day.
