Wrist Splinting

• Depending on your condition, splinting may be the best method to help treat your wrist pain at home. Splints keep the wrist motionless in order to avoid further injury to the site as well as to reduce any numbness or tingling sensations.
  
  You can purchase a wrist splint at any pharmacy; they will typically cost less than $30. You slip the splint over your hand and wrap it tightly to keep the wrist immobile. Many sufferers wear wrist splints at night or when they are doing activities, like typing, that aggravate the symptoms.
  
  

Over the Counter

• Consider over-the-counter pain medication like Ibuprofen or acetaminophen, as long as your doctor approves. These noly only relieve pain but reduce inflammation.
  
  Strengthening your bones will help over the long run. Get enough vitamin D and calcium each day. Foods that contain a high amount of these vitamins include milk, cheese and green leafy vegetables. If you are not getting enough from your diet, you can take a supplement.
  
  

Ergonomic Devices

• Ergonomic versions of devices you have to use often - such as keyboards and mice - can help take stress from your wrist and relieve what pain you may feel while performing certain tasks. You should also take regular breaks when typing.
