    Re: Wrist Injury

    that would make sense since i cannot do press ups on my palm of my hand really i have to lean further forward to apply pressure on the upper hand where the fingers meet and had to gradually increase my wrist strength by benching (because of the motion of bending ur wrist) and also suddenly grabbing a railing when stumbling on a bus and sticking an arm out in rugby and someone running into my forearm/wrist invokes a lot of pain and lifting from behind in the line outs

    never occured to me there was a possibility because when i saw a physio they checked me out and said it does not seem to be any injury releated to the scaphoid therefore it seems to be the tendons... im not too knowledgable in orthopedics so i just go visit an orthopedics and ask them about the possibility of a scaphoid fracture? i guess its a possibility that the physio may of not recognise it yet? within 1-2 months of injury although the inital injury my parents told me my thumb muscle area was extremely swollen and i could not move the wrist lol but i thought it was a normal sprain... i am so confused i hate to be stuck with a long term injury because i have suffered so many injuries due to not seeing a specialist until its gotten in a bad state and now the physio i saw ages ago is clueless in what to do

    Hi Captain 127

    I am not saying this is what you have and one should take into account that you have had it investigated. However scaphoid fractures are notorious for being missed.
