rob Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Hi! I've got some non-specific pain in my wrist. I think it may be some form of repetitive stress injury. It hurts when I form an "o" with my thumb and fingers and move my wrist up and down. I have medical insurance and access to competent doctors, but I thought it would be better to ask random strangers online for dubious medical advice instead. Can somebody please diagnose my soft-tissue injury online, sight-unseen? Instant remedies and speculation are welcome! I'd especially love to hear unrelated stories about similar pain you once had. I was planning on using my wrist this weekend, but now my plans are in jeapordy! Quote
JosephH Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Try calling the Seattle Symphony and see if you can find out what hand surgeon they recommend to their musicians... Or, Seattle top docs... Quote

Maine-iac Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Hmm this one is serious; I would suggest taking a break to recover, but your injury sounds like it is caused by a serious addiction. I would suggest switching hands; it will work your other forearm muscles, and let your "bad" arm recover. Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 The hauteness should forbid such sport. Quote
rob Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 pfff, masturbation is a great team sport. Quote
tomtom Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Pre-treat your wrist by sitting on it until it goes numb. This has the added advantage of feeling like someone else is doing it. Quote

akhalteke Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 No trauma? Sunff-box tenderness it usually a result of a fracture of the scaphoid bone in the hand. Quote

astrov Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 nah you can mess up the tendons that form the anatomical snuffbox through repetitive stress. mine collapsed after I spent the fall running power tools (weed whacker, chain saw) and working with other garden implements. doc prescribed me some diclofenac sodium (a NSAID) to get the swelling to go down. Had me ice it and stop working with that equipment. Quote
