    10 weeks now with this injury, doesn't feel any better, doesn't hurt even pressing on it but when I do the opening a doorknob motion or turning car on type of movements. I work with tools and a avid tennis player. Is expensive hand therapy the solution? creams? I took prescription anti inflammatory for 20 days and nothing.

      @@vanvalium i was in your shoes and you have to know this injury usually takes long to fully recover. What helped me was 100% immobilizing my wrist (including in my sleep) with a wrist brace that has metal strips on both sides of hand. I realized my wrist bends a few times in my sleep and that actually did not help with recovery. If you can't use wrist brace outside, then just make sure you use it in your sleep and see if it helps. Even better if you can use it 100% of the time so the wrist has time to heal.

    I twinged my left wrist while golfing a couple of years ago - I golf lefty. At first I thought it would recover on its own but it's gotten progressively worse in all physical activities (golf, working out, household chores). Today on the back nine I completely lost the ability to release the club at impact and I'm fed up. Finally I'm going to see an ortho doctor for it as soon as I can.
    If surgery is needed, one thing I'm worried about is time to be able to resume typing. I work an office job and in these times I can't afford to be out of commission for a while during recovery. So if surgery is recommended but it takes 1-2 months to begin typing again...i'll probably keep putting it off.

    So I'm 62. I had a fall on the 4th. First set if xrays the fracture was not picked up. I ended up with an " impacted distal radial fracture" At the time of injury I had pain on both my thumb..radial side and my pinkie ulnar side. But no fractures were on Ulna. I've had the cast on 2 weeks and have zero pain on mr fracture side, but my ulnar side wrist and forearm are killing me. Is this normal for a DRF. Are there exercises I can do while in the cast? Thsnks so much.

    • @chicago7270
      @chicago7270 3 роки тому +5

      Here are some general guidelines.
      - look at your racquet flexibility rating. Below 65 recommended
      - reduce string tension - stay on the low side of the recommended range
      - switch to a multi-filament string like Wilson NXT or natural gut
      - correct your technique - use bigger muscles and shift your weight
      - use correct racquet grip
      - dont squeeze your racquet hard. This is something that has helped me the most with my wrist pain issue.
      - warmup before playing and stretch your wrists
      - use a wrist brace
      - Isolate your strokes by playing only one stroke for a few days to figure out what is causing the pain. I have a ball machine so it was easier for me to isolate.
