    Re: Chronic Wrist pain...help!!

    Okay, so we discovered the lunate doesn't sit properly, it seem to keep subluxing. Also my wrist extensors are tight and there is a slight thickening and area of tenderness on the dorsal wrist primarily around the lunate.

    I am splinting my wrist for the next two weeks. I am taking it off at night doing gentle AROM. I find when I flex after extending, my wrist clicks (centrally and slightly ulnarly). I think it's a tendon clicking..perhaps the extensor dig. communis.

    Do you think the extensor retinaculum or an extensor tendon is tights and therefore pulling on the lunate causing this subluxing?

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks!
