Poorly Wrist

[fallenangel]

I am sure someone on here will ahve an idea whats up with my wrist and do say go to the drs cos i never go. its been swollen now on the outside edge (little finger edge) for over 6 months and were its swollen it doesnt actly hurt infact i can press harder there than i can on the same place on my ok wrist. but the inside edge( edge undre my thumd) of my bad wrist is painfull most of the time but no swelling. the sling used to go down a bit but for about 6 months now its not allterd at all it hurts if i bend my wrist from side to side more than up and down and iv got problem lifting and holding things as my thum is tendre aswell. any ideas what it could be and do you recon leaving it or putting a support on it might work. I did wonder how bad it would be normail cas i take 3 lots of differt painkillers and ibuprofen for my back so it would probably be a lot wores without the tablets

Strong possibility of carpal tunnel syndrome. Lots of people get it - it normally requires a small op to put it right so you will need to see the doc, Wendy :thumbsup:

Awwww, bless ya, hun

My sister had it done with no problems so if you do find it gets too much to bear, don't fret about having it done :thumbsup:

for carpel tunnel, they use splints now to help it, to try to prevent ops

I can see me in a few years walking round like the tin man from wizzard of oz all still with nothing that bends lol

Just a thought with all the knitting you do Wendy it could be repetitive strain injury, very common and the pain can be releived. If you do a search in google see what it throws up if your symptons match!
