Question: Hi, I fell a year ago at a dance competition, I went to a&e that night with left wrist and left foot pain. I was sent home with what they said were sprains and soft tissue damage but when I returned 5 weeks later in as much pain if not more they realized my foot was actually broken and my wrist had a suspect scaphoid fracture. I attended the ortho clinic for x-rays and physio and my foot was 100% better but different doctors had different opinions about my wrist, some felt there was no fracture but tendon or ligament damage and others would not validate the pain I was in. I had an MRI done but they said it was a low quality MRI, they said though that there was nothing gross that they could see, My foot is now perfect I am now suffering with severe pain flare ups in my wrist every couple of weeks, they last for about 4-10 days and they prevent any movement or flexibility in my wrist, I can only describe the pain as a burning pressure pain in the centre of my wrist My sore wrist is noticably thinner than the other. I currently wear a splint during flare ups which stops my wrist moving causing sharp pain but the constant burning is always there. Pain killers do not work and I get some relief oddly enough from squeezing the wrist. Please help !
I currently go to college, I'm right handed and I work in retail in a clothes shop part time for about 15 hours a week. The latest flare up occurred after a weeks holidays from college and work.
