A member asked:
Does a partial tear of the central scapholunate ligament in your wrist cause pain & need any kind of treatment? if it does cause pain where would the pain be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on how bad it is. Where: I would google this ligament and look at images and see what dermatome it is in on you. If no pain no treatment needed, Would try ice first then heat. Ask about a wrist splint.
