Wrist Pain Possibly from Snow Boarding, Wrist Tendonitis or Wrist Injury?

by Rachel
(MA)

I have been having a good amount of wrist pain and i can't pinpoint what to do to make it stop.


I have no health insurance so i cant just go in and check when i want. i've tried putting a wrap on my wrist, a splint. this has been going on for at least a year.

I do snowboard so i don't know if i did some injury to it then. but on certain days i cannot put pressure on my wrist what so ever.

i have to find other ways to do things that will not put pressure on it. it is right where you wrist and your hand bends that i am having the problem. sometimes the pain will spread into the top of the hand. i have even tried icy rub.

Help

Hi Rachel.

Well, I'd need more details to have an opinion.

Because you either have a really bad case of Wrist Tendonitis, or a wrist injury possibly including a fracture, a torn tendon or ligament, etc.

Or something weird like cancer in the wrist.


Questions:

1. How long has this pain been going on?

2. Did it come on suddenly out of the blue (like right after a snowboarding fall or crash, or the next day) or did it come on slowly and get worse and worse.

3. Describe the pain.

4. Is it constant 24/7, or does it come and go.

5. What all have you done for it. Has it helped a little or a lot?
