Wrist pain, TFCC injury and other issues

[AJDux1502]

Ok, am now waiting appointment from orthopedic dept at hospital. However I would just like to mention latest problems, as I seem to have developed other problems with the wrist. The TFCC pain hasnt been too bad the last few weeks, I got a 3Point wrist wrap which feels really good. However I am getting pain and aching in the centre of the wrist, and sharp pain at the base of the thumb, from what I can gather the area is the first dorsal compartment tendon. Is it usual ofor one problem to lead to another like this? Because honestly I can describe 3 or 4 DIFFERENT pains and problems now over the last 11 months or so, as one problem feels like its getting better, another problem surfaces, when I factor in the popping and cracking, it just kind of feels like my wrist is giving up on me! I'm trying to rest it as much as I can until I get to the hospital, but that could be a few months and i got to work.....

You can try the following:

• Do flexibility and strengthening exercises every day. Work with a physical therapist to learn the best and safest exercises for your wrist.
• Try the exercises after a hot bath or shower so that your wrist is warmed up and less stiff.
• DO NOT perform exercises when your wrist is actively inflamed.
• Make sure that you also rest the joint adequately. Both rest and exercise are important when you have arthritis.
