Wrist pain, TFCC injury and other issues

[AJDux1502]

Thanks very much for replys. I have just booked another appt with doctor to see if I can be refered back to NHS physio again, but I think I will also look at a private physio.

That makes alot of sense about the muscle strain, i tend to get that problem mainly after a long dayu at work, cleaning windows gripping the pole for a long time. The difficulty is that since my scaffoid op I have had limited movement of that wrist, I cannot bend it any where near as far back or forward as in the picture there. I guess this may contribute to the tightness if my movement has been limited for so long?

I think I may try and push for a scan if I can. As I understand it wrist injuries are very difficult to diagnose properly. I know from last time the consultants thought my wrist was healed, only with the scan months later did they immediately see that my scaffoid was split down the middle.....

Thanks again

No problem. Glad to have helped. Again it sometimes is process of elimination. So work on the muscles and hopefully the physio will also address the joint stiffness with some hands on manual therapy. Give it a good 3-4 weeks of treatment and see how you go before you jump to any dire conclusions. After about a month of treatment and if your symptoms continue then further investigation may be warranted. An MRI will show a TFCC issue if that helps. All the best!
