hand ligament damage

[ian law]

hi,
In march this year, I fell backwards off my trailer at work, whilst off loading, landing on my pelvis, back, and causing sprains to both wrists, the left, after several x-rays, mri scans and consultations has been diagnosed as being a torn ligament between the scaphoid, and another bone. The problem is, due to the pain, I have been unable to use my hand and as a result I have lost a great deal of muscle in my arm and shoulder. I want to get back to playing rugby and as it is not quite as painfull, I wanted to do some arm curls etc to bring back some shape. Would this cause any further damage and should I not bother, or would it be ok. I'm waiting to see an expert on hands at Derby at the moment.

Ian

hey ian..
from ur msg it can be drawn that u can work out to strengthen ur shoulder and arm muscles. What u have to keep in mind is that..
1. Support your wrist with a wrist and thumb brace
2. Progress gradually and
3. Don't exert ur wrist to the point of pain
Consult with the practitioner in Derby.
Wish u quick recovery
