Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Regarding the painful movements, it seems to be all directions hurt with passive and active movements, it varies through the day and depends with what i am doing. The main area of pain is the scapholunate interval with extension. I seem to get some clicking (seems tendon-like) with movements such as flexion following extension.
My PT tried to manipulate the lunate back into place, but he says it's not staying put. I have no obvious deformity, but he mentioned it was "sitting high" when he palpated it.
I had a simple wrist xray done and they said everything looks normal.

I have been splinting for almost a week now. Yesterday I experienced a lot of discomfort with the splint and removed it. I was having pain with opposition and any movements. It seemed as through the extensor tendons were very irritated. I was also having some knee swelling (separate issue) so i took an Ibuprophen and massaged the extensors and did some ROM and the pain seems to have diminished.
I have pain with palpation around the scapholunate interval. I'm not sure what this might imply other than an instability of the carpals.
If I have no obvious deformity could it still be a torn carpal ligament?
I am getting very stressed out and concerned that I am going to require surgery of develop arthritis. It's very concerning as I"m just starting my career and my body seems to already be falling apart!
Thanks for all the advice!

Oh, and regarding some of the other questions..

I had no specific injury. I have no neck pain, no numbess or shooting pains through the arm. Pain is absent if my wrist is static. No night pain. No swelling. No loss of appetite. And no appearance of a ganglion cyst.


Thanks
