I too have had problems with my right wrist since childhood. The
most recent inflammation was during mid-February. Being both a
clarinettist and a keyboardist, I became concerned after about two
weeks of non-stop pain. My doctor prescribed Daypro--it took about a
week, but I haven't had a problem since. Hope this helps.
