<p>I know lots of smart people post on these boards and in desperate need of some help. Here's my case:</p>
<p>I am a 16 year old male. About 16 months ago I broke my wrist snowboarding. I wore a splint and cast for 2 weeks each. I'm not sure what went wrong, maybe it just took a long time to heal, or maybe I started using it too soon and played tennis too soon with it, but it still kept hurting and feeling sore and weak for about 8 months after I broke it, the doctor said it should be fine in 2-4 months. I went to a wrist specialist and a orthopedic surgeon and they couldn't fine out what was wrong. I even had an MRI done and nothing was found. They just to do exercises with it. Anyways after about 9 months it basically felt 100%, I played JV tennis for a season and I was feeling great and had no wrists pain for about 7 months. Then, about a month ago, now 16 months after the break it is starting to hurt again. What's wrong? It mainly hurts when I put pressure on it, but even things like squeezing a bottle and turning a door handle hurt. Playing tennis hurts when I hit the ball. I have been playing a lot of tennis to try to make varsity next year and have changed my grip like 2 months ago which makes me hit with more spin and use my wrist more. After all this time my wrist is starting to hurt again and I really want to play tennis! What's wrong? I'm really frustrated with this problem.</p>
<p>Anyone have any experience or know anything? All insight is appreciated. I am going to see a wrist specialist next week.</p>
<p>I’m assuming you’re just exerting your wrist too much. It might be healed, but the more stress you put on it the more it will hurt. You probably should let your wrist rest for a long time before you play, otherwise something really bad could happen. </p>
<p>I’m not a doctor or anything…I’m just using common sense…</p>
<p>I’ve found something as small as changing where my mouse sits on my desk can give me really bad arm/wrist/shoulder pains after the course of an eight hour working day; is there anything similar to that you’ve changed?</p>
<p>Sounds like micro-fractures. Bones are constantly breaking and rehealing. Your wrist probably requires more time to heal. Some heal faster than others considering the stress you continue to place on your wrist.</p>
<p>just realize, op, that all of this is speculation. we can’t diagnose your problem definitively because we’re not there (and like someone said, we don’t have any MDs). i would just go to the hospital.</p>
<p>Why are you going to a college discussion forum for medical advice? My humble recommendation is that you seek someone with actual knowledge in this area.</p>
