A member asked:

Wrist sprain been 4 weeks pain with wieght specialist took mri which suggested dorsal capsular sprain and 1-2mm perforation in tfcc. how long to recover?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A long time.: Dorsal ligament injuries, classified as wrist sprains, can take longer to stop hurting than many fractures. In my experience this is usually 6 weeks to 3 months. Occasionally longer if activity is not limited and the injured area is continually stressed. Immobilization is key to get the ligaments to heal by cast or full time bracing (removing only for hygiene). It can be frustrating ; painful!
