I fractured my wrist some 10 years ago?

Question

lately ive been having trouble with my wrist. If I lean on a desk, I feel like I'm putting too much pressure on it. If I just twist it, it will crack itself. It's just really uncomfortable....I wanted to know is there anyway to stop this? Is it because It didn't heal properly? It's so annoying....

Answer 1

First of all, if it happened 10 years ago it does not need re broken. I had a boxers fracture about 15 years ago, I never went thru the surgery for a perfect hand, but besides the point. I do experience alot of pain now and then, swelling also. It could be arthritis kicking in. Have your Dr check it out, maybe you are developing calcium deposits near the fractured bone. (bursitis?).  If you type alot it could also be carpal tunnel. Only the Dr. can determine. In the mean time take some motrin for the pain.

Answer 2

it is almost an expected after-effect of a fracture, that years later arthritis developes at the fracture site.  try wearing a bracelet made of strong magnets, this is a natural way to treat this sort of local pain, i find it the MOST usefull remedy for my carple tunnel flair ups

Answer 3

go back to the doc have it broken and re-set in a cast

Answer 4

This is a very i8interesting question but I'm sorry to say one for which there is no definitive answer. There are a number of possible causes for your present problem an the only really meaningful answer is going to come from your Doctor. Other people have indicated Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Arthritis, both are possibilities. There is another cause and that is Tendonitis. All of these conditions can be relieved with Anti-Inflammatory medicines like Ibuprofen, if you don't have a problem with indigestion. Pain killers will also help should they be needed.

I have a pet means of relief from Tendonitis and that is Arnica Gel - it works very well for me and takes the edge off Arthritic discomfort! You can get that from any decent chemist. However, the best solution is for your Doctor to diagnose and treat the problem.

Sorry I can't be more helpful. Hope your Doctor is able to resolve the issue for you.

It is most likely due to compensating for the fracture. Humans instinctively shift their weight/use away from an injury this causes muscle imbalances which can cause problems if not corrected.
