Swollen Pisiform Bone is a sign of a fracture or dislocate?
It sounds like you've developed bursitis in your wrist(s). We have bursa sacs in our joints that when overused can be irritated and cause significant pain. In the wrist, the bursa sac is located on the top of your wrist over the area of the metacarpals. In bursitis the sac becomes irritated, inflamed and can increase in the amount of fluid. In bursitis of the wrist it hurts to bend the wrist and put any kind of weight on it. You can also develop a lump on the top of the wrist which in your case would seem like your pisiform is swollen, but bones can't swell. My guess would be that when you pushed down you popped that sac that was developing. Usually a doctor will treat it by aspirating some of the fluid off and tell you to use the RICE method. (Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation) Hope this helps you out some. I would see your doctor or an orthopedic if you have continuing problems. But for now you should get yourself a wrist brace, use ice to reduce swelling, and rest it as much as you can.
Wrist problem, please help (pictures included)?
Something is definitely wrong. There are many possibilities, such as: 1) small "chip" fracture - these can be missed on an X-ray. 2) "hidden" fracture - hairline fractures in small bones and other subtle fractures may not show on an initial X-ray. Scaphoid fractures (the scaphoid is a small bone in the wrist at the base of the thumb) are very serious injuries and often do not show on an initial X-ray. The doctor should have examined this area (which is called "the snuff box") by putting pressure on it. If pressure on the snuff box causes or aggravates your pain, a scaphoid fracture must be ruled out (e.g. by CT scan). 3) inter-articular disc injury - there is an important disc (like the discs in your spine) in the wrist called the "triangular fibrocartilage". It plays a key role in holding many of the small bones of the wrist together. You may have damaged it. 4) wrist joint subluxation(s) - unless severe, these generally will not show on a wrist X-ray. They are diagnosed by physical examination by an experienced Chiropractor. Suggestions: 1) have a thorough evaluation by an Orthopedic surgeon who SPECIALIZES in hand/wrist problems. 2) have an evaluation by your family Chiropractor, or a Chiropractor with expertise in hand/wrist problems. or I had the same thing about 3 months from falling in tennis and my wrist did the same thing. I went to the hospital, they just came up and said "it's probably soft tissue." What I did was I wrap my wrist up for about a month with ice every once in a while. Then I went to Wal-mart and got a wrist guard. It really does help a lot!
Wrist/Hand injury by slamming against wall.?
So I blew up after an accident, and ran to the nearest wall (about 6 feet away), and brought my arm back and slammed/hit the wall with an open palm on the muscle-y part above the wrist. Basically, with all the force I had. Afterwards, I believe my whole hand was incredibly numb and turned red. Now there is a sharp pain when I push, even lightly, with my hand. Also if I touch the back of the hand with the injury with my other fingers, there is a great deal of pain above the wrist on the back side of the hand. I can't really rotate it, and it basically hurts pretty bad. What should I do?
My left wrist has been hurting for a few days, and I didn't fall or do anything that may cause the pain..?
The wrist is made up of the two bones of the forearm (the radius and ulna) and eight carpal bones (scaphoid or navicular, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and the hamate). Many ligaments connect these bones to each other. A sprain is an injury to the wrist ligaments without any evidence of bone injury (that is, no broken bones or cracks in the bone). With a sprain, there is usually only a partial tearing of the ligaments. In a severe wrist sprain, there can be a complete tear. You can also have wrist pain from repetitive use that results in an inflammation of the tendons (tendonitis). This is termed a repetitive motion injury and is really not a true sprain. Carpal tunnel syndrome is another common wrist injury that may occur from repetitive motion. The movement you described being painful, flexion and extension would possibly narrow it to soft tissue, pain on movement is usually tissue, constant pain would possibly mean bone injury. With no specific injury as the cause, I would think there has been some sort of repetitive stress injury to the area. I would start with resting the wrist, and also use ice and heat to help with any inflammation to the tissues, finish with cold. Possibly wear a support brace. After a few days, if there is still no improvement I would make an appointment to see your Chiropractor or other practitioner. If the pain worsens I would suggest that a more in depth examination is done. An xray or other imaging may need to be performed.
