A member asked:
I have this tfcc injury. had x ray, mri. kept it on a splint for 2 months but still hurts. cant do surgery. i'm feeling hopeless, please help?

Injection: A steroid injection into the joint may help. Also ask your MD for a topical NSAID such as Voltaren (diclofenac) gel or a compounded cream. Keep using the splint/brace if you have to. Other than that, you'll really have to buckle down and get the surgery done.
