I was recently at a volleyball camp, after the first day my right wrist was sore but it wasn't that bad, took some ibuprofen and everything was fine. On Wednesday it was back, but worse, I went to the Athletic Trainer they iced and taped it. After closer examination on Thursday I was told by the Athletic Trainer that I had done something to my TFCC. Is any one familiar with these types of injuries or have any thoughts. We researched it and found out it may heal naturally or need surgery. Is there a way we can now from home or is a trip to the doctor necessary. Thanks for any ideas.

Going to the doctor is your best bet. Your hands are important for more than just volleyball. You don't want to grow old with a "trick" hand.
You'll heal a lot faster since you're younger. The doc can give you some different options. Maybe rest, maybe alternative therapy, maybe surgery.
Better to find out now before the damage gets worse or causes you to compensate in other ways which may cause damage to supporting tissues.

...you might want to see if you can find a doctor that specializes in Applied Kinesiology.
I've been a setter for many years and have had wrist and hand issues from time to time. My strategy has been to first visit my local chiropracter who specializes in Applied Kinesiology for non-invasive treatment ... and then if he doesn't treat the injury successfully, move on to an orthopedic, etc. So far, a few applied kinesiology appointments have worked fine. Ask around to see if others recommend a reputable person your area. |
