amo_mea_filiis. Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I have always dealt with foot problems and have become quite the expert. Of course now my feet are fine, but my wrists hurt! They're fine if i'm not doing anything, and i can do most things while compensating, but i noticed it big time when i was trying to hold ds the other day. If i keep my wrists straight i can lift and put weight on, but i cant do anything with them bent. Its sore to press on the top and bottom but the sides are fine. For feet, i would wrap to stabilize and let it heal because i know the cause. I dont know why my hands/wrists hurt. Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternalknot Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Maybe the nerves are slightly damaged? Don't know, but I can bump this and hope somebody else does :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Mom4 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I had a flair-up of bursitis in my wrists that was like that. I had been weight-lifting with the weights just a little bit too heavy. It took a few weeks of wrist braces to let the inflammation go down and cold packs on the wrist helped it feel better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Do you have hypermobile joints or connective tissue problems? (Fingers that bend backward, flat feet, scoliosis, etc.) If so, it may be that your wrists are hypermobile and have become stressed. Ice and ibuprofen for the pain, rest for the joints, possibly braces at night to keep from bending them in your sleep. It may take a few weeks to recover if you do all that, or months if you keep restraining them. Take care of them now!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amo_mea_filiis. Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 I do have mild scoliosis. I got a thinner bandage and will keep my right wrist wrapped and see how it goes. If it's worse tomorrow, i'll talk to our occupational therapist and see about night splints. So my night attire now includes; a left foot splint, full face CPAP mask, and soon bilateral wrist splints! Lmao. What fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momof3littles Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 A PT can do an eval. From your description it could be several different things. Tendonitis, carpal tunnel, etc. would be some things they would rule in or out based on their evaluation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
