@odomlewis Thank you so much. Your words are really encouraging - I'll spread the word! Thank again. #wristpain 2:06 PM Nov 12th from TweetDeck in reply to odomlewis
@bluestarlounge Thank you! It's really been a good experience from my perspective. #wristpain 2:02 PM Nov 12th from TweetDeck in reply to bluestarlounge
@ghs_org Good to know - thanks! #wristpain 1:59 PM Nov 12th from TweetDeck in reply to ghs_org
#wristpain 5) we're steadily learning more about pain in this region - keep searching until you are satisfied. 1:58 PM Nov 12th from TweetDeck
#wristpain 3) the fovea sign is really sensitive to a UT split tear or a massive ligament rupture 4) other sources of pain still can exist 1:57 PM Nov 12th from TweetDeck
#wristpain just a few take homes 1) Ulnar wrist pain is common and can be disabling. 2) treatment can be successful even if chronic 1:55 PM Nov 12th from TweetDeck
@neelshah can be treated surgically (scope or open) if painful. If not, U can leave it alone without worries. #wristpain 1:50 PM Nov 12th from TweetDeck in reply to neelshah
@bartbrandenburg Dank U wel! It's great to hear form you. I lived in Leiden for a year on a Fulbright Scholarship. Tot siens! #wristpain 1:48 PM Nov 12th from TweetDeck in reply to bartbrandenburg
@ELT7 a good careful exam should be able to show the difference - important for treatment success! #wristpain 1:46 PM Nov 12th from TweetDeck in reply to ELT7
@ELT7 it can be, but these are also classic signs of issues with the forearm joint (split tear or ligament rupture) (more) #wristpain 1:45 PM Nov 12th from TweetDeck in reply to ELT7
@ELT7 this doesn't sound like entirely LT to me. Sometimes an exam by someone else helps - a fresh set of eyes on the problem #wristpain 1:41 PM Nov 12th from TweetDeck in reply to ELT7
@odomlewis Thank you. I agree about Lee and also add Mary from USA Today. We should do this more often for other conditions #wristpain 1:36 PM Nov 12th from TweetDeck in reply to odomlewis
@SallySF I'm familiar with Steadman Hawkins at Vail - very good reputation, assuming it's the same #wristpain 1:34 PM Nov 12th from TweetDeck in reply to SallySF
@LeeAase you type faster than me, Lee. I agree with your thoughts. #wristpain 1:33 PM Nov 12th from TweetDeck in reply to LeeAase
@odomlewis should still have a good chance #wristpain 1:26 PM Nov 12th from TweetDeck in reply to odomlewis
@ELT7 with your hand flat on the table, is your pain just distal (toward the fingers) from the ulna (knobby bone of forearm)? #wristpain 1:26 PM Nov 12th from TweetDeck in reply to ELT7
@odomlewis perfect - he has a good chance of healing. #wristpain 1:21 PM Nov 12th from TweetDeck in reply to odomlewis
@ELT7 any imaging (arthrogram, MRI, etc) needs to be correlated with your symptoms and physical exam #wristpain 1:20 PM Nov 12th from TweetDeck in reply to ELT7
@ELT7 "tears" of the LT ligament can happen just with age (sorry!) - a positive arthrogram may be misleading (more to come) #wristpain 1:19 PM Nov 12th from TweetDeck in reply to ELT7
@odomlewis did the cast extend above the elbow? If he's still painful and he had a short cast, maybe try the longer version #wristpain 1:17 PM Nov 12th from TweetDeck in reply to odomlewis
