No injury, but I’m prone two tendinitis and overruse issues. It doesn’t seem like DeQuervains (had that before) since any popping/clicking is painless and doesnt happen frequently. Negative Finkelstein, b it was irritated afterwards for a while. I’m stumped. Anyone know else could cause pain in this area?
I had been seeing an OT for wrist issues; things had been going well, and I have made some progress getting back to things I need to do. Yesterday, I felt like she was eagerly trying to push me out for good. My tendon irritations had been migratory in nature (and I understand if it was frustrating for them to keep up with), but I’ve been a good patient and done everything they’ve prescribed. I was having radial wrist pain this visit and asked how to build endurance for tasks like blow drying my hair, and they said “just avoid that movement.” That was unhelpful, and I was taken aback so I didn’t give pushback, but I feel like their job is to help me be able to do the things I need to do, even if they are small tasks. Am I being unreasonable? I feel like strengthening would be a better solution that just “avoiding that movement.” Thanks for your input.
Have had symptoms in the ulnar wrist for months (clicking, not painful), and doc had used ultrasound to dx me with ECU tenosynovitis. Went for MRI, and they found scapholunate degeneration. Is this a common incidental finding? I’ve not had any pain anywhere else in the wrist and am now wondering if this could be an old injury. I feel like I’m too young to have this kind of thing (late forties, female, active in the gym).
ECU tendinitis in right wrist has finally started to quiet down (less clicking in wrist) after 4.5 months. Sports doc did an ultrasound, and he said the tenosynovitis is till pretty moderate-to-severe and that it should have looked better. I’m getting an MRI, but my question is: can there be a lag as far as symptom improvement vs imaging? I feel gaslit by my body. I’ve been strengthening and functioning pretty well and can do most tasks, and I thought the imaging on the ultrasound would reflect that.
