I ve been having a problem with my left (dominant) wrist for a couple of weeks. Pain, tingling, burning on left side of the wrist. Thought it might be tendonitis from so much time spent photo editing/video editing and shooting video for our production company. I ve tried to rest it, used ice, taken anti-inflammatories but it only seems to be getting worse. Pain shoots through hand when I try to lift anything with much weight to it or when I twist/bend it to left.
Hithank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. As mentioned by you, about the symptoms, these are caused by repetitive stress injury (RSI). Also in RSI there are one of the two possibilities you might be facing. Carpal tunnel syn Chat Doctor. For the correct diagnosis, an understanding of the Neuromuscular assessment is needed. Your neurologist may recommend you for Cervical spine MRI along with EMG and NCV test of the upper limbs to come closer to diagnosis. Also, treatment of choice will be conservative, like Medication and physical therapy.in my clinical practice I have seen patients with such RSI issues and all recover well with proper combination of medication and physical therapy. 100% of health can be regained back.
