Pain in Outside of Wrist

[mattverde]

I practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and about 7 months ago I injured my wrist.  The wrist was pinned under my body and was rolled.  There was immediate pain--though not severe.  I continued to practice for about a month after the injury, but then stopped due to a job relocation.  The pain still exists--somedays more so than others--but I want to get back into training.

I have an appointment to see a hand specialist, but am curious what it might be.

The pain is located on the outside of the wrist (pinky side)where the radius and carpals meet.  The pain is mostly only noticed when my wrist makes a counter-clockwise turning motion--as if opening a door or a jar.

Any thoughts?  Thanks much.

I have the same problem. I've been to a couple different doctors, physical therapy, and occupational therapy.... So far, nothing has worked and the pain has continued for about a year now. If you find out anything useful, I'd appreciate it if you could pass it on to me as well

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
If you have continued to use an injured wrist, this could be repetitive strain injury. It could also be due to ligament tear and weakness. Tendonitis and bursitis are the other possibilities.
Hope this helps. I think you should discuss these possibilities with your doctor (PCP) and get a referral for a sports clinic and consult a sports medicine specialist. It is difficult to comment beyond this without examining. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
