midcarpal subluxation

(3 discussions)

3 Comments

In a karate tournament, I injured my hand/wrist while punching. After x rays and examination, Doctor diagnosed torn or damaged ligaments at the carpal level. It has been now 3 months and I still have instability in the wrist and pain. My wrist will clunk and click from time to time. My questions are the following: 1. Can an instability in the wrist go away with time? or is surgery always needed. 2. How long does it take for arthritis to settle in. BTW, I am 33 years old, perfect health.

During the day, I do not have any unusual pain in my feet. During the night, I awake often with burning feet and pain in my toes.
I am 76 years old.
I ruptured my Achilles tendon about 8 years ago playing tennis and have osteoarthritis in my back as well as sciatica on my left side. Could the foot pain be caused from the back pain?
It seems to be worse on the side with the sciatica.
I can’t walk much due to the back pain.

Physical Therapy Questions

I am a 63 year old male, active, good physical condition.
I totally ruptured my Achilles – had surgery on 9/18. I was in a splint for 2 weeks then a cast for 4 weeks, have just had 4 weeks of therapy.
The doctor released me from the walking boot and crutches one week ago — but, I am still using crutches to lessen the pain and swelling.
I’ve had the pain and swelling for 11 weeks.
When can I expect the pain and swelling to get better?
What can I do to improve the pain and swelling situation? My foot now is almost to the flat level position – I am doing exercises 2-3 times a day and try to walk some without my crutches. Any advice you have regarding home therapy, activity, etc. will be appreciated! Thanks.

Physical Therapy Questions

I have a pain in my knee that I would like help in understanding and treating.
I normally run between 3 and 4 miles about 3 times a week at a 9-10 min mile pace.
Nothing very fast.
The pain that I have is not so much when running, but when I kick a soccer ball where a twist is placed on my knee. Also, the pain seems to intensify when it is bent.
I do weight train a few times each week.
My physical makeup is height 5’10” and approx 195 lbs, age – 46 years old.
A friend of mine told me about a patella brace that may help.
Please help me in understanding treatment of this chronic pain as I do not want to injure it any further, but also do not want surgery. thanks in advance for your time.
