Wrist Questions

Asked for male, 23 years old from Chennai

Report

I am a 23 years male and I go to gym regularly. Around 2 weeks back my right wrist started hurting and now if I close my wrist some tendons are moving near carpel bone and causing pain. Sometimes I can not even close my hand. Previously doctor gave pain killer and some vitamins but it didn't work. I got and xray, mri and ultrasound and bellow are the reports. there is abnormal synovial thickening with edema and inflammatory changes seen in the proximal palmar aspect of hand at the level of metacarpal bone deep to flexor digitorum superficialis tendon of middle finger. The synovial thickening is mobile and extends proximally up to the wrist joint at the level of flexor retinaculum. (dynamic ultrasound of the hand was performed: during flexion of hand the abnormal synovial thickening extends proximally into the wrist joint in the subcutaneous plane). There is mild to moderate edema seen in the adjacent soft tissue plane. Is there any serious issue, what are all the available treatments. Thanks in advance.

Synovial thickening is our body's response to friction caused due to inability to cope up ...more

You shoulder will become stiff and the movements would be diminished. For the right hand pain it might be due to carpal tunnel syndrome, where the pain will be felt in the wrist. You can do hot water fermentation/ wax therapy for shoulder and for the wrist pain (hand pain) you can do ice therapy which will reduce the pain.

Can do hotwater fermentation and ice therapy at home. You shall also take physiotherapy treatment called shortwave diathermy which would help you to get relieved with pain. No need to take mri but you can wrist brace for the period of three weeks as the wrist brace will help you to restrict the hand movements which itself will heal the wrist internal issues which has happened due to bike accident. At times the wrist takes majority of the weight of the body while falling down from the bike which ...more
