Wrist Injury, can't bend hand backwards

Posted , 3 users are following.

I once fell and landed on my wrist, after which it was swollen and very painful for about a day or two, afterwards I couldn't bend my hand backwards, every other function of my hand remained though. I went to seek professional help about my problem, and got an xray scan both before and after having a cast for about a month with no visible fractures or dislocation.

Then I was suggested to go on a rehabilitation therapy of some kind, which did not solve my issue, and I was told that there's nothing else they can do due to a lack of resources.

As far as my hand is concerned now, I have had no pain or any inability to perform my daily duties, however, if I try to bend my hand backwards, or do a push-up lets say, it will start hurting at the wrist area as if my hand were blocked from bending backwards by something, and if I try to do it for longer, it will become sore for a minute or two.

So I guess my question is, what could the cause be here?

    Hi.

    Just a question. Why did they put it in a cast if there was no fracture or dislocation?

    I hurt my wrist lifting weight, and had extreme pain for weeks. now, 3 years layer, it's still stiff and sore, particularly when bent backwards. It also have limited range of motion. I have a small piece of broken cartilage in my wrist. Maybe you have this? Did you ever have an MRI?
