Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Palm During A Physical Activity

I have pain in the palm of my hand, below the thumb when I golf, type or try to unscrew something hard. My physician thought it could be carpal tunnel and gave me a wrist brace to wear at night. It s been about 2 months wearing the brace, the pain is better than before but still there. Your thoughts?

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello

I have studied your case,
I consider that there was no injury/trauma to your wrist.
As per your history there is possibility of De Quervain's tenosynovitis.
Physiotherapy like USG and TENS will help in relieving symptoms.
Avoid twisting activity of wrist.
Till time continue your medication.
If not relieved local steroid injection will help, you can take that after consulting your treating doctor.
Last aspect remains surgical release as long term cure.

Another probability of carpal tunnel can be considered in which there is swelling over wrist .There is nerve compression near wrist which leads to pain on movement.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
