ANSWER

Anatomical Descriptions of Wrist Pain

The summer of last year was a very stressful for me after I got into an accident that
left me with wrist injuries and scaphoid fractures. The x-rays test that I took at the hospital
showed that the carpal bone of my anterior right-hand wrist was fractured, leaving me with
excruciating wrist pain. As a result, it wasn't easy to make any intracarpal motion –
something that I have always done in my daily activities. It may seem like a small accident,
but it affected my work. I could not carry any load or perform intensive physical duties. Even
using my laptop was painful because of carpal instability. See, the wrist operates like a slider-
crank in what experts call the concertina effect. When the carpus is loaded axially, the
dorsum of the lunate rotates, and the palmar edge of the capitate translates dorsally.
I was lucky that only my left-hand wrist was affected. Otherwise, my whole body
would have been immobilized by accident. However, my hand is slowly returning to normal
after several therapy sessions. The physician explained that distal links with the proximal to
help the wrist carry load while at ease. My mid-carpal joint of my right hand is still painful
and has not fully recovered. And with proper therapy, I will be able to regain carpal stability
and resume my duties. I still have some scars on my dorsal olecranon after sustaining minor
injuries on my left hand, but I hope the scars will disappear soon. I must confess that having a
wrist injury is a painful experience that I wouldn't wish on anybody.
