pain n tenderness at ulnar styloid process

[ChrisG9]

Hello, I broke my wrist about a year ago (when I was 15), not too sure of the specifics but it was a compression break and it happened when I landed heavily on my hand playing football.

My wrist bones moved up onto each other so I had a big lump where my bones had pushed up. I had my wrist pulled back into position (hopefully into the correct position) and then had it set into a cast immediately.

I now have a small range of movement in my wrist but most movement causes me a fair bit of pain (even typing this is causing me some pain).

I need some advice on what to do. The main area for my pain is the styloid process on the ulnar. (I think I'm right in saying that this is the 'nobbly part' at the bottom of the hand.)

If anyone could help me, I would be very very generous as this part of my wrist is hurting me a lot most of the time. I don't know whether to go and seek professional advice or whether there are any specific exercises that could ease the pain and strengthen my wrist, giving me a wider range of movement.

As it is, I have only been using my left hand for a short while as the pain used to be unbearable even to twist a bottle top. I started doing some exercises like clenching my fist and rotating my hand. These seem to have helped a bit but not a great deal.

If anyone could give me some advice it would be very much appreciated.

Sorry if I went on about unnecessary information, I don't really know anything about it I just really need some advice.

Thank you.

If it is easier, I can recieve personal emails at [email protected]



EDIT: Reading the posts in this thread, I googled a Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex (TSCC) injury. I have these symptoms and I am 99% sure this is what I am experiencing if this is the case what should I do? Please help
