Re: wrist injury - lack of weight bearing and tendonitis
Wow Wendy that is all great info and very interesting.
Just wanted to share my experience. I have mentioned in this thread and others that I have experienced left wrist pain with lack of weight bearing for almost a year. I had an MRI that showed a TFCC tear and ganglion cyst. The odd thing was most of my pain was located central and dorsal and not ulnar. I waited about 8 months to finally get treatment (i know...) and it was slow recovery at first. I started to see another physio about 1 month ago on a regular basis and he's been working on mobilizing my carpals and cross friction to the ligaments (mainly the one between the radius and capitate..i think). I have experienced such a decrease in pain and am definetly more functional.
Right now I tried to weight bear and it's not painful. Sometimes this happens and pain develops later in the day but so far I've had great relief.
While I'm working I wear a wrist support. So I do recommend that to prevent reinjury and pain. Taping works well for temp relief but I would get the wrist widget or something similar to help with support. But ultimately you want to get the source of the problem fixed.
So once again I recommend to see someone that is a hand therapist or someone that is well experienced with hands and can located and actually feel the scar tissue in the hand ligaments.
Best of luck!
