@@Rektxtgx yeah, my wrist is barely an issue now after doing a lot of these exercises and strengthening my forearms. As long as i dont go to heavy and focus on time under tension it doesn't flare up much anymore. Still a work in progress though.

[@Rektxtgx]

@@Bobdafarmer that is good to hear and gives me hope, glad you have seen improvement with your wrist

[@stroyer2103]

Here's what I found worked for me. The doctor gave me a cortisone and then put me right into therapy so that I would have a pain-free recovery process. For the most part it was occupational therapy but they Incorporated some strengthening that you would get in physical too. In the meantime I was wearing the wrist widget and trying to rest my injured hand as much as possible through bracing at night and using my non injured hand more. After 5 months I have been finally seeing progress.

Hi guys, I tore my tfc in basic training in 1987 from jumping down, from a standing position, To do a push up. In 2011 I had it repaired, but they ended up doing a wafer! My wrist still hurts! I am right handed and that is my bad wrist. I also had a cubital tunnel release in that same arm. I went thru a year and a half of OT. It will never be the same. Just had an arthoscope and it is torn in the middle of my tfc and I now have a ligament tear too. I am going to order your heat therapy, as cold hurts really bad

I do not see the warming wrist thermatext inferred product link you mentioned

[@wristwidget]

I don't recommend supination stretches or any strengthening until you have 60-65 lbs of stability. The last thing that returns with TFCC tears is loaded rotation. Make sure you test your pain free stability with a non digital scale before stretching and strengthening. Because the incidence of Extensor Carpi Ulnaris tendonitis and subluxation with TFCC tears, you definitely want to avoid wrist extension load until 100%. Nice infared splint!

Hi Bob and Bradley, Is there a video for Ulnar wrist pain. I've had this pain for 30 year through DIY manual tools usage. Ps. The pain is in the wrist on the thumb side

[@WriterK]

so regarding age related degeneration of the ligament or fibrocartilage complex, is 40 or 41 the starting age for that? I got TFCC in my early 40s and I am 42 now. I am female. I do not remember injuring my hand but I have carried heavy things with my hands all my life, and even in my regular daily exercise, I have lifted up heavy weight tools. I weigh 48 KGs, and I am 152 cm. I was diagnosed with TFCC after MRI, last year, after suffering from pain for almost a year and half which first started with tendonitis of my right hand with fluid retention around my wrist, and then after physiotherapy and care and a tennis elbow wrist support, temporarily I healed, but was dependent on the elbow brace, for more than a year and pain was coming and going, with inflammation and finally last year the specialist that finally got surprised why I was not healing totally, sent me for MRI and TFCC was the result. I wonder how the tendonitis converted into TFCC or what is there indeed, that the orthopedic doctor does not tell me straightforward

What's going on when you feel pain in your wrist and the top of your hand just above your wrist when you put pressure on an open palm, such as during a push up? I have to put my right hand in a fist or around a dumbbell to do push-ups because I can't put any pressure on my open palm, even just holding my weight in a plank. I suspect this is from an old bench press injury.

[@nicolas1104]

I have a TFCC injury. My hand on the ulna side has moved a little, the pisiform is more marked (like a bump on the palm of the hand). consequently, the extensor carpal ulnar tendon is in conflict with the ulna when I supinate my hand. When my ligaments heal, I'm afraid my hand will not straighten out. There may be an orthosis that keeps the hand in a normal position during the healing phase. I would like some advices please.

​@Mr pewpeppa Lavo I have made a CT arthrography and an MRI which just showed the fovea a little damaged. But I attribute the pain and strain of the ligaments causing a conflict somewhere in the ECU tendon. No real improvement.

One has several bars for stability whereas one just has a bar on the Palmer side. Is yoga safe with this injury and is it feasible with a brace?

Can I use these exercises now, or should I wait for a while and just wear a brace for now?

[@huntert7236]

I had a partial tfcc tear in my right wrist from weight lifting and got an MRI, got a cortisone shot, and wore a cast for 6 weeks. I'm just now getting back into the gym with a wrist widget and wrist wrap but still have minor pain/discomfort with certain movements. Should I get it looked at again for possibly another cortisone shot or maybe surgery?

[@huntert7236]

Matt Lamb thanks, I'm getting it looked at again soon anyways just to make sure its on the right track

HTH 21 Look into PRP plasma injection to heal it or prolothearpy

[@huntert7236]

Michele Dodd I'm looking into it now, thank you! Also do you know if theres a higher success rate with prp injections compared to cortisone injections?

[@micheledoddkelton6598]

HTH 21 Plasma is what heals an injury and inflammation sends the signal to the body to begin healing of torn tissues we end up overriding that with antiinflammatories like Motrin and Steroid injections they don't heal they stop the healing and only provide pain relief which only allows you to keep over using the damaged body part making the injury worse.

[@micheledoddkelton6598]

HTH 21 Repeated Injections of steroids Can Affect Soft Tissue. Too many injections over a short period of time can cause damage to the tendons, ligaments, and articular cartilage at the injection site. For this reason I don't recommend them.

im taking cortisone injections now to treat my hand because i have a cut in TFCC... i wanna know after its done how many times per day or week to do the exercises ?? and how can i do push-ups again i think now its impossible plz respond me im so confused

[@kerimsmoviehighlights]

How is it now? Have you recovered?

[@mohamedgamal5467]

its good but the worst thing i had done it was the cortisone shots.. just do streches and rehabilitation every day and putthe wrist support trying lift weights gradually every thing will be ok

[@kerimsmoviehighlights]

I took the shots twice. Its getting better everytime i took. I can say my wrist recovered about %80. But still its sensitive than the other wrist. I wear wristband while workout.

[@mohamedgamal5467]

about 80% its amaazing after workouts and rehabilitation it will be perfect... for me after the second shot it was good i took the third it made me like starting fro. zero i dont know what is the reason may be the doctor shot it with wrong position

[@kerimsmoviehighlights]

@@mohamedgamal5467 its to important that injection must be done to the injury site. My doctor done the uncorrectly for the first time and it was undone. Now i am fine but i dont think it will heal completely. I have to protect it always for the rest of my life.

As a result of a repetitive strain injury, I was diagnosed with TFCC in both wrists. I do not have any problems lifting heavy weights and the pain is very mild in both my wrists and base of my thumbs, but my wrists and thumbs both click and pop a lot. Do you know if my thumbs will be fixed by doing these exercises as well and not just fix my wrists only? Does TFCC affect the thumb as well? Thanks.

Did it heal ,?

[@zain_bk]

Because my wrist click and pop

[@crispycruiser4654]

@@zain_bk Go to a doctor. Some random person online can't get you better faster.

[@a.alamria5702]

Is it possible to recovery. If it's complete tears. Like my injured ?

[@michaelkurniaatmaja3225]

Hi, i have tfcc tear and its been 1 yr. I have been injected with NSAID twice and it didnt help. I feel sore and stifness. Pain level 1-10 is at 3. Can i do the exercises you show on the video? Or should i wait few weeks?

[@crispycruiser4654]

A year is more than enough time. Do the PT. NSAIDs and steroids are useless and sometimes make you worse.

[@Illusion_effect]

I get a clicking sound if I do excersise but doesn't hurt what does that mean? And should I still continue excersise if it's clicking?

[@Pistachios.1]

It is like a popping sound? I get that as well. It doesn’t necessarily hurt but it’s kind of alarming lol

[@natehawesvideo]

Likely a ECU subluxation which is in a similar area to a TFCC tear.
