Have a query?

I have pain in my left wrist, starting at the upper part of my thumb. I have been prescribed OSICARE DS on alternate days with a gel pack, but I am not fully recovered.

Persistent pain in the wrist and thumb area may be due to tendon or joint issues. Continue using OSICARE DS and gel packs as prescribed, but if pain persists, consult your doctor for further evaluation or physiotherapy to aid full recovery.

I'm sorry to hear that your wrist pain has not fully improved. The medication you are taking, Osicare DS, contains glucosamine, which is commonly used to help reduce pain, stiffness, and swelling in joints affected by osteoarthritis by supporting cartilage repair and joint lubrication. However, recovery can sometimes take time, and pain persisting despite treatment may indicate the need for further evaluation.

Here are some suggestions:

  • Continue following your prescribed treatment as directed, including the use of gel packs for local relief.
  • Monitor your symptoms closely. If pain worsens, spreads, or is accompanied by swelling, redness, or decreased movement, it is important to seek further medical advice.
  • Consider consulting an orthopedic specialist or a rheumatologist who can assess your wrist more thoroughly. They may recommend imaging studies like X-rays or an MRI to identify any underlying issues such as tendonitis, ligament injury, or other joint problems.
  • Physical therapy might be beneficial to improve wrist strength and flexibility.
  • Avoid activities that exacerbate the pain until you have a clearer diagnosis.

If you experience severe pain, numbness, or signs of infection, please seek immediate medical attention.
