Trapezius is a muscle which is a spread out muscle; from the back of the head, spines, scapula etc. How did he diagnose? Did he do some tests on your neck movements, X-ray, MRI, Scans to diagnose?
Take anti inflammatory drugs, rest, ice packing and you would be fine if it is a minor sprain.
If you have a muscle splitting, muscle tears etc you have to be diagnosed properly and treated properly. Take care!
I was in a car accident yesterday and went to the hospital about 5 hrs later and the dr. said that I have Thrapezium sprain in my neck. Could you explain more about that to me. For instance the meaning, how long does it usually take for recovery.
Thank you

Hi,
How are you feeling?
The wrist is composed of 8 carpal bones in 2 rows (proximal and distal); from radial to ulnar:
Proximal row: Scaphoid (or navicular), Lunate, Triquetrum, Pisiform
Distal row: Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate and Hamate.
Pisiform is the only small sesamoid bone lies anterolateral to the triquetrum and sits within the flexor carpi ulnaris tendon.
If it is infected or injured then it is called as sesamoiditis.
There are other bones in the body too which are called as sesamoid bone.
A cyst would have definitely shown up on MRI.
Keep me informed if you have any other queries.
Bye.
