Hi All.

I am hoping for a little advice. In December 2006 I hurt my wrist, or should I say it started hurting very badly suddenly. I had been suffering from chronic pelvic pain at the time and when I sat on the floor I would lean all my weight down on my right wrist. This went on for several months. I cannot now bear weight down on my wrist. It also hurts with pulling things or any movement involving gripping. The pain extends from the little hollow behind the thumb up the side of my wrist. It also hurts through the top of my hand and down the fingers when I bear weight. It feels very stiff. The flechy part between the thumb and first finger also hurts.

I enjoy surfing and had stop stop for ages as I couldn't weight bear. It improved quite a bit as long as I did not weight bear as this hurt. However the pain has come back as I have changed my job and am nursing elderly patients which involves bearing weight on it. I am really worried about it. I don't know why it won't heal up. Could anyone advise me on this? When I spoke to my doctor about 6 months ago he said that there was no point doing an xray as it was so long after the injury. Will this heal on its own eventually and what on earth can I do to treat this myself? Advice on exercises and the like would be really great.

Many thanks.

Clare
