An Update On My Wrist

I went to the doctor today because my left wrist has been bothering me for the past 3 weeks.  The x-ray showed that I have inflammation of the soft tissue, due to overuse and hyperextending my wrist.  The doctor recommended that I take Aleve twice a day, and I have to change the way that I wheel and walk with my crutches.   He also recommended that I wear a wrist brace whenever I dance or go to the gym. If it doesn't improve in the next few weeks, then I would have to see a specialist. Does anyone have experience with this? What do you do to treat it?
