Pain in thumb and wrist

[tt6688]

i have osteoarthritis in my knuckles and wrists,i just picked up a cup of tea and something snapped in my wrist im in a lot of pain,im also on a lot of medication for Lupus.should i bother A&e or leave it till morning? Thanks

You had better go to A&E for starters as, if the pain is as bad as you say, you will need some pain relief.

Thank you Sqad, what do you think it could be?

[Sqad]

Withou more details, it is difficult to say.Can you flex your wrist?

[tt6688]

i can move my fingers, but the wrist is very stiff,im also on prednisilone at the moment

[Sqad]

Well, I should wait until the morning now, providing the pain is no too bad and see your GP tomorrow.
