A member asked:
Can a minor hamate fracture get worse with overuse of the joint? i'm in more pain now than a week ago when i injured it.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Mainstay of treatment is immobilization of the joint. Check with your treating provider for splinting or immobilization options. Hope this helps!

Hi, I am a 23 y/o female that injured my back 3 months ago hyperextending it while weight lifting. The NP that evaluated me thought it was a pars fracture as it hurts much worse bending backward. I was sent to get xrays and an MRI which were both normal.
