re: Wrist Injury/Pain - Anybody Dealt With It?

eta in dealing with this i discovered that i apparently sleep on my wrist a lot. added a compression brace (ulnar?) at night for a couple weeks while i was dealing with it. i keep the wrist strap in the golf bag now in case it flares up again. it has a couple times but it is mostly gone now.

Yea I actually sleep on my wrist a lot too. Didn't think about that because it definitely hurts in the morning as well.

Was the brace something similar to this?



I bought the brace that the poster mentioned earlier in the thread, hasn't gotten here yet.

Yeah, I went to a hand specialist a couple years ago. Got some shots and had to wear a brace while playing for a couple months. Thankfully I’m good now.

this is the one i bought. wanted something unobtrusive as possible. my doc told me it was a tfcc issue so i just searched for tfcc brace (couldn't remember it earlier) Amazon

The wrist widget is the best option of the TFCC stuff. I essentially don’t play without it on now. It’s a lifesaver

Probably extensor carpi ulnaris tendinitis. Injection as stated previously should do the trick if that’s what is is. Hand ortho should be able to diagnose without imaging.

Thanks for the tips everyone. Bought two wrist bands to give them a shot for a week or two and see if that helps. Probably sleep in one of them. If not, I'll schedule an ortho appointment and try and get an injection.

I rarely hit on a mat. It's funny you say that though bc I did two days in a row two weeks ago and thinking about it my hand was really hurting after those two rounds.

Got the wrist widget in yesterday and been wearing it.

Went back to my Orthopeadic doctor today, pain is back in left wrist and right thumb. Dequervains in wrist and Trigger thumb in right hand. Having surgery tomorrow on left wrist, no golf for about 6 weeks, possible surgery on right thumb if cortisone/steroid shot doesn’t work. Haven’t played any rounds in October, and it looks like no golf for the rest of the year is very possible.

Yea the crazy thing is I was finally starting to feel better and the pain was minor and I could deal with it, then the other night I was changing the oil on my four wheeler and the bolt was on so tight I was putting all my weight into my left hand and a jolt just went through my hand that made me just lay over on the ground holding my hand. It was really a sight to see

So now I have this crazy nerve pain that is going through three of my fingers, palm, and down my wrist and forearm. So I partially fi one thing on the wrist and just added something worse. Right after I shot my best round of the year

I have the same pain. Go see an orthopedic. My guy is fantastic, Dr. Adam Whatley. I get a wrist injection fixes it for a year usually
