Why doe the pinky side of my wrist hurt? Pain at the ulnar fovea.

[@sunshifeng6641]

Went through a lot of videos about ulnar wrist pain or tfcc. Yours is the most concise one! Thank you very much!

[@felawes]

James that was a very competent summary. I have the TFCC injury incurred from Padel and Real Tennis. Resting, cooling, and heating for the next few weeks. Thanks a lot. R

10 weeks now with this injury, doesn't feel any better, doesn't hurt even pressing on it but when I do the opening a doorknob motion or turning car on type of movements. I work with tools and a avid tennis player. Is expensive hand therapy the solution? creams? I took prescription anti inflammatory for 20 days and nothing.

[@schemper5737]

I’m feeling exactly the same way, no tennis for 6 weeks now and not much progress. Braces don’t seem to help either, I’m feeling stuck 😞

[@vanvalium]

2 years late but I'm that situation right now. Anything that helped in the end? Also from tennis.. @JC-nm9hq @schemper5737

[@profan10]

@@vanvalium i was in your shoes and you have to know this injury usually takes long to fully recover. What helped me was 100% immobilizing my wrist (including in my sleep) with a wrist brace that has metal strips on both sides of hand. I realized my wrist bends a few times in my sleep and that actually did not help with recovery. If you can't use wrist brace outside, then just make sure you use it in your sleep and see if it helps. Even better if you can use it 100% of the time so the wrist has time to heal.

[@bEEBO178]

I had this problem after hitting the gym too hard. I used a sport velcro wrist brace. its taken 6 weeks and my wrist is almost back to normal. Had to wear the wrist brace every day, even at work.

I have this injury for about 4 years now and the last two years is when I could exert more and do more forehand shots. I'm still not at my prime level as my technique took a huge hit, but I'm doing wrist strengthening and wrist stretches to see the following month it will help.

[@aimit8727]

did it help, the streching of the wrist?

[@GershonBenYitzhak]

4 weeks. Not what I wanted to hear lol. My pain is very subtle. I don't have pain to the touch, but I do feel some strain when I put my palm up and push out with resistance with my thumb. Probably from tennis, also my car that has no power steering does not help

What if you cant give that area 4 week rest period, what are the temporary solutions to just reduce the pain? Taping?

[@biologymom6238]

So I'm 62. I had a fall on the 4th. First set if xrays the fracture was not picked up. I ended up with an " impacted distal radial fracture" At the time of injury I had pain on both my thumb..radial side and my pinkie ulnar side. But no fractures were on Ulna. I've had the cast on 2 weeks and have zero pain on mr fracture side, but my ulnar side wrist and forearm are killing me. Is this normal for a DRF. Are there exercises I can do while in the cast? Thsnks so much.

[@nicolas1104]

Hello Huy Nguyen. How are your wrist now after 5 months?

[@HuyNguyen-kd5vz]

@@nicolas1104 better now, thanks for asking, I spent a good 2 months resting, not doing anything intense, no sporting, just let my wrist fully heal, when I don’t feel any pain, i started to do light practice to increase my wrist muscle, then starting to get back to what I love,which is tennis :)). Anyway, whatever sports you are playing you need to play it with proper technique. And strong wrist muscle helps to prevent injury a lot. Good luck Nicolas!

[@purelocaldirectory8702]

i punched a brick wall 6 years ago and the pinky's knuckle got pushed back 2 inches...after healing the knuckle now sits about 1 inch below the rest when i clench fist ... it doesnt hurt normally but after i play tennis for a long time it does "hurt" -- not really a hurt but a tense unpleasant feeling.. i cannot move my knuckle up to where it was because the bone has hardened .. when it was healing it did try to push it up but didnt happen!

[@pampap4287]

I have this wrist pain. I play tennis but did not get it from playing. I believe I got it from doing preventative exercises in preparation for the playing season. Is this possible?

hmm ice or heat? Thanks!

[@applesforakbar]

Question after those 4 weeks of wait and see and you're feeling better should we strengthen the region and if so what are some good exercises?

[@michaelsklar5215]

I twinged my left wrist while golfing a couple of years ago - I golf lefty. At first I thought it would recover on its own but it's gotten progressively worse in all physical activities (golf, working out, household chores). Today on the back nine I completely lost the ability to release the club at impact and I'm fed up. Finally I'm going to see an ortho doctor for it as soon as I can. If surgery is needed, one thing I'm worried about is time to be able to resume typing. I work an office job and in these times I can't afford to be out of commission for a while during recovery. So if surgery is recommended but it takes 1-2 months to begin typing again...i'll probably keep putting it off.

I’ve been playing tennis for five years and my wrists seemed ok but after getting a gym membership I’ve found I’ve had this problem , it was hurting rlly bad when I was going to the gym multiple times a week so I took a 4 week break and now getting back into it I can already feel my wrists starting to hurt again , any one have any suggestions or things that have helped you

[@chicago7270]

Here are some general guidelines. - look at your racquet flexibility rating. Below 65 recommended - reduce string tension - stay on the low side of the recommended range - switch to a multi-filament string like Wilson NXT or natural gut - correct your technique - use bigger muscles and shift your weight - use correct racquet grip - dont squeeze your racquet hard. This is something that has helped me the most with my wrist pain issue. - warmup before playing and stretch your wrists - use a wrist brace - Isolate your strokes by playing only one stroke for a few days to figure out what is causing the pain. I have a ball machine so it was easier for me to isolate.
