What Is The Treatment For The Injured Tendon Along The Outer Wrist?
Hello. I play golf and I have injured the tendon that runs along the outer wrist near the bone that protrudes slightly. It is very tender and when I perform tasks that require the rotation of the hand / wrist in a clock wise direction (RH) the pain is much more severe. I can actually feel the tendon jump across the bone?

Hi you have possibly injured the tendon at the base of thumb. This tendon has probably become swollen and causing friction( tendon jumping) on movement. In my practice I would treat it with Pain killers , hot fomentation and local analgesic cream + wrist support for 2-3 weeks.
