Wrist Injury

[sarahkelly]

Hi there
I suggest you use pain as a guide and damped down the activities that you suggest are aggravating it. There is a small bone in the wrist (scaphoid) which fractures sometimes when ppl fall on outstretched arms) this rarely shows up on x-ray and sometimes gets a bit better after a few weeks then worse again (seems to follow that pattern). On the other hand if it is tendons then putting your entire body weight through them may not help much either, You'll need instead to stretch them eccentrically over a long period of time, don't start with the dumbells introduce them gradually.
What movement is the most painful? Have you noticed after all this time anything that eases your pain?

well impact on the hand hurts as we did some core where my friend did sit ups and when he did 1 he had to punch sideways and when he hit my right hand it was agony so any impact on it, if i do a lot of stretching it hurts quite a lot and sometimes the wrist cracks and feels as if its clicking back in when i stretch it extensively

i can do benching now only a bit of pain so long as i do stretches, physio was telling me about that few months ago and checked it out saying my scaphoid is fine since i just had an x-ray so she suggested it must be tendons but she also had no idea of my left wrist pain but ill ignore it till my right wrist is better

all movements of the wrist hurts but i do it to stretch it and get it working as in bending it forwards, backwards, moving it sideways with my left hand.

also if i were to isolate the thumb and use it alone to push downwards it hurts a lot in the wrist area where my thumb joins on and so does pushing my thumb in any direction causes the pain. do you think theres a chance of this being tendonitis? as i have researched a lot in the internet and i can only conclude it being tendonitis

i am considering seeing an osteopath and maybe get an x-ray again and perhaps see a different physio if nothing changes
