As far as OTC stuff, Aleve works very well for me when I (an old fart) get sore. I also get tendonitis in my bow wrist, elbow, but also my draw shoulder. I also have variable pain from neck and back problems, and a bad knee caused by football injuries. I also have a partially repaired shoulder separation from a Mt. Bike accident. Advil or its generics work resonably well, but Aleve is better, IMO. When your wrist gets feeling better, strength training specifically for the wrist will also help. Strength training is mainly how I have been able to avoid getting a knee replacement, since my first knee operation was over 30 years ago, and the arthritis buildup is pretty advanced. Best of luck, hope this helps. BTW, the older you get, the more it hurts![:'(]
