Wrist pain no one can explain and My doc is out of ideas

[pkarmy76]

I am hoping and praying someone can give me some much needed advice. About a year ago I started to notice my wrist hurts when I flex it back or if I put pressure on it. (like doing push ups). I'm a pretty active guy and at first thought I had a sprain. After two MRI's three X-rays and blood work. All my ortho surgeon can tell me is that  he is not sure what the pain is from. I have mild tendonitis but after a year in a brace and NSAID it should have gone away.
My symptoms are as follows: It only hurts bending my wrist back or trying to put presure on it. It is not swollen. THe pain is in my wrist and if you were to draw a line back from your first two fingers it would be right in line with it. If I push down in that area I can feel a tendon(?) and next toit the bone. The tendon is only slightly tender to the touch but id I oress on the bone its extremely painful. Its hard to describe but when I bend my wrist back it fels as if someone stuffed my wrist and I'm fighting to compress the material in there. Sometimes it also feels as if one of my wrist bones is rubbing against my arm bone.
  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I could not have written the pain, sysmtoms, and details any better. I have and have had for over 10 years the same thing. I figured it was a slight sprain, then a thought it was a simple pulled tendon. In the end I dont know and I dont have much faith in doctors these days. Please update us to your findings because it sounds exact to my pain, location, and stress.

I had wrist pain like that for almost three years. I finally found an excellent hand surgeon who with just checking its stability diagnosed a torn ligament. I had surgery and have done much better.

Also I read an article in a magazine from the Mayo clinic and it talks about a couple of patients having a split tear in ulnotriqutretral (UT) ligament. One patient went to many orthopedist for five years without answers. Then she heard about Dr. Richard Berger at the Mayo Clinic who diagnosed her with a UT split tear and is now practically pain free. You can go to sharing.mayoclinic.org and search UT lgament to get detailed information. good luck, achilles2

i just started getting the same thing. im only 15 and i play football(lineman) so i think i just sprained it, but i have the exact symptoms as the guy who asked the question. it hurts when i put presure on it or bend it back and if u drew a straight line from the spot in between my index and middle finger,  thats where the pain is. it is swollen in that small spot and really hurts when i touch it.
