Treatment for a hand, wrist, or elbow injury can vary depending on its severity. Typically, you will need to temporarily restrict hand or arm movement with a splint or cast. This helps relieve your pain and promotes healing. You may also need to take either prescription or non-prescription medication, as well as avoid activities that cause your pain.

Recovery from non-surgical treatment of hand, wrist, and elbow injuries
