Several weeks ago I was working my forearms hard and heard a click. Ever since then, my wrist severely hurts when I do any kind of rotational movements, such as hitting a tennis forehand. Any suggestions from the group on remedies. I have been religiously icing and stretching. Should I go see a doctor? Are there any exercises that I can do to strengthen the area without aggravating the injury?
Not enough info…
What exercise were you doing when you felt the pop?
What part of your wrist hurts?
What movement is most painful…flexion, extension, pronation, supination?
Does it hurt when you move the wrist passively with the other hand?
Can you make a tight fist without pain?
Answer these and I’ll help if I can.
must be a little too much “wham, bam, thank-you Mr. hand!!!”
ok I do not know the name of the bone but I think I MIGHT know what it is. YES see a doc. jose canseco sufferd a broken bone in his wrist, I THINK its the halmet or hamlet or something like that, all they do is take the whole thing out, you don’t even realy need it (hell he still hits baseballs 500 feet) from what I understand. see a doc but let me know if I am even in the ballpark. peace
It’s acutally called the hamate and I don’t think you’d want it removed. For one thing you would have a very interesting instability in your wrist which may make it difficult to perform any kind of pressing movement. Secondly, the hook of the hamate forms part of the tunnel of guyon through which the ulnar nerve travels. Relocating the nerve to protect it is always tricky and you again may exposed the nerve to unwanted compression.
bill, I know he has been injury prone but after he had it removed he has not injured his wrist, what about canseco? like I said he still hits em’ 500feet. I know they removed it on him so what do you think they did in his wrist? peace
I too injured my wrist doing my sport. Similar symptons, pain on rotation, clicking sound when rotating the wrist. After some unsuccessful physio (for what I thought was a bad sprain)I decided to consult my doctor who agreed with my diagnosis of a torn Triangular Fibrocartiledge Complex in my wrist. This is a piece of cartiledge that is found between the join of the ulna and radius and one of the small bones that make up the actual wrist. From research on this type of injury, it appears that the usuall treatment is some form of arthroscopic surgery to repair the torn cartiledge. I see the orthopedic surgeon in October. You may want to investigate this type of injury as well.
