You could be experiencing something referred to as "intersection syndrome". It is a rupture of one of the tendons at the wrist, where it intersects with another crossing tendon. It can be caused by a severe strain of the wrist, typically while performing a twisting motion of the wrist/arm. It is quite painful and you have to immobilize the wrist somewhat to allow it to heal. there is no surgery for it. You can go to a doctor, or simply go to a good pharmacy and purchase one the the plastic reinforced wrist braces. It will allow you to use your fingers, but keeps you wrist from moving.

I experienced this problem several years ago and it was quite painful. Again, there is no surgical procedure to repair it, it has to heal on its own.

fungirlmmm	Posted Jul 7th, 2009 at 10:46AM is it a break or could it be carpal tunnel syndrome? Go to the doctor and let him know you are having pains. Rated: +1Vote for this!
purified	Posted Jul 7th, 2009 at 10:55AM usually doctors will not rebreak something unless u waited too long to see them and it started healing incorrectly. then- yes- they will rebreak it and have it set correctly. warning: This hurts like h3ll. not somthing u would want to have happen. and 2nd: I would ask the doctor, not our lovely EP'ers. granted they are smart, i'm sure very few have a M.D. behind their name.

axeman66	Posted Jul 7th, 2009 at 11:25AM you might not need to have it broken and reset. you may have carpal tunnel syndrome. my cousin had it. they do a minor surgery to remove a nerve and the relief is almost instant. Rated: +1Vote for this!
void00	Posted Jul 7th, 2009 at 12:12PM If you have a pain in your wrist you need to find out what is causing the pain first. I've never known a doctor to do something because a patient asked him to. Rated: +1Vote for this!
