What do I have? Bone dislocation, fracture or am I just complaining for nothing?


Last year I fell in our house due to wet floor. I fell with an out stretch hand (L). Since then whenever its cold or I use my hand often, I'm left handed, I feel pain on my L wrist, specifically on my L ulnar styloid. Normally there should be slight protrusion of the ulnar styloid but since the accident I lose it. I already had an X-ray, but they say that everything is normal. I also feel tingling sensation sometimes. What could this be?

You may have damaged or pinched the ulnar nerve. Symptoms would include tingling, numbness and pain. I would see an orthopedic doctor for a diagnosis. There are treatments ranging from splinting to physical therapy to cortisone injections to surgery.

You could have injured the nerve. If nothing shows up on the x-ray, that just means they can't see anything wrong with the bone when they look closely. A CT scan can give a better picture of what might be wrong. Ask your doctor about that. If he ignores your concerns, find another doctor.

i think you moved the nerve. in april, i fell of a swing and broke both of my arms. my fingers didnt get full feeling back for almost 2 months... i still have tingly and not all of my feeling back in the tip of my thumb... good luck!

    well it depends on the original grade of dislocation, if you can麓t go to your orthopedist but have your x-rays go to someone else, if not try calling your orthopedist, and ask him about rehab too
