Question 2

Accepted Answer

Concern for fracture: Following on an outstretched wrist is the most common mechanism for fracture of the scaphoid bone.

Long-term problems can develop with an occult scaphoid fracture.

Accepted Answer

Thumb,wrist: Unless there has been recent injury or sprain, possibilities include overuse syndrome, arthritis or tendinitis. You could try wearing a wrist brace and taking an anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen or naproxen for a week. If no improvement,I recommend consulting a hand specialist.

Question 9

left ball-like wrist bone (ulna bone?) got "bigger" than the one in the right wrist. nothing moves, no pain, it seems just bone. possible causes?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: If the end of the bone looks and feels bigger, without any pain or other symptoms, nor a history of trauma, then a primary care doctor can evaluate and check for a joint problem. He may consider doing an x-ray to see if there is a bone cyst or bone tumor there.

Question 10

hello, is this a dislocated wrist? my wrist bone sticks out further than my other wrist bone and there is lots of pain when i put pressure on & move.

Accepted Answer

Not likely : A dislocated wrist would take a pretty substantial injury, and would cause horrific pain.  You would know if you dislocated your wrist! It is not a subtle condition.
