I'm having severe pain in my right wrist when I twist it clockwise, especially right below the bone that sticks out. It gets really bad when I try to turn doorknobs. What kind of splint or cast should I be using if I want to fix this in a few weeks?

You may be experiencing a wrist sprain or strain. To help support and immobilize your wrist, a wrist splint would be beneficial in this case. You can use a wrist splint that is specifically designed to immobilize the wrist joint. Wear the wrist splint consistently, especially during activities that aggravate the pain, like turning door knobs. Additionally, you can also take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) to help alleviate the pain and reduce inflammation. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

My knee cap has gotten really thin and I'm on medication right now but I'm worried about surgery since I heard replacements only last around 10 years - is it worth going through with it or should I try other options first
hope you are not in a lot of pain. What do you mean by saying that your knee cap is thin ? Do you mean that the cartilage is worn out ? You might have chondromalacia patella. Please consult an Orthopaedic surgeon
