Wrist Pain 14-Mar-2006 At 2:52:49 PM Erika

Hey Julian,

I was trawling the site for info on wrist pain, and found this thread. Hope it's not too old for any replies! I have exactly the same wrist pain, on my left arm. Started about 6 months ago, from bouldering, I think about the same time I developed rotator cuff problems. All in the same left arm. That, coupled with light training and regularly going to astanga yoga classes (a lot of body weight put on the hands), really cemented the problem. The shoulder is getting better slowly, but the wrist is worse. Now, I can no longer do anything that involves my wrist (am now up to month 3 of no climbing). Even holding something slightly heavy in my left hand hurts. I get sharp shooting pain down the pinkie side of my wrist and forearm, and a bad dull ache 24 hours a day. Been to physios, and have been using theraband for rotator cuff excersices, and wrist side pull type things (holding theraband in both hands and laterally moving the wrist in both directions), which hasn't really helped. Went to Susan Dunn (the hand specialist in Sydney), she didn't even know what it was (I have since found out it was TFCC strain). Could you please forward me the article you wrote. I imagine it should be out by now. Any other suggestions....anyone? Is it time for an arthroscopy? It's driving me crazy.

Thanks, Erika
