For the past year I have had right wrist pain and trouble writing. Since I am right handed, this is becoming more and more of a problem. What should I do about this?

The first step is to find out what is causing these symptoms. Your doctor will take your history and carry out an examination before deciding further tests to do. Sometimes an X-ray is enough to show what is causing the problem. Other more advanced scanning technology is also available. Once your problem is identified, your doctor will outline treatment choices that can help.
