Default Re: Injured at work

Wrist injuries are VERY complicated and take a long time to heal. Most ortho surgeons won't even go near that area. Knees and hips are easier so they stay in that practice.

I tore cartilage in my left wrist in the gym in the TFCC (Traingular Fibro Cartilage Complex). Splint at first, then cortisone shot next a few weeks later. After a few months it was better. Still comes back to haunt me, but I am ALWAYS weary of putting to much strain on it now.

My cure...keep working out. If I stop working out my wrist starts to hurt again. My theory is the muscles in the forearm compensate for lack of strength in the joint now.
