Hello Gefre Thanks for describing your symptoms in detail. Pain in your wrist and tendons, tightness extending to the elbow, and difficulty moving your hand after catching a football could be due to overuse, a mild strain, or even an underlying tendon or nerve issue. The dizziness and faintness you feel are less likely to be directly related to tendon weakness and may point to something else, like dehydration, low blood sugar, or even anxiety during physical activity.
What you can do: - Rest: Give your wrist and arm some time to recover, and avoid activities that worsen the pain. - Ice: Apply an ice pack to the painful area for 15–20 minutes a few times a day. - Apply Diclofenac gel - 3 times a day - Gentle stretching: Once the pain improves, gentle wrist and forearm stretches can help. - Hydration and nutrition: Make sure you’re well-hydrated and have eaten before playing.
Investigations - 1. X-ray: To check for any fractures or bone issues. 2. MRI or Ultrasound:To assess soft tissue, including tendons and ligaments. 3. Random blood sugar 4. Vit b and vit d blood test
Consult me later after getting these reports done or visit your nearest doctor for better evaluation.
Thank you
Your symptoms suggest a few potential issues that relate to repetitive strain or possibly even an underlying structural problem with the tendons or ligaments in your wrist and hand. Catching a football can be quite a forceful activity causing hyperextension or overloading the tissues. One primary concern could be tendinopathy or even tendinitis affecting the flexor tendons, those that run from your forearm into your hand. The tightness and restricted movement might be due to inflammation or micro-tears in these tendons. It might be beneficial to undergo a physical examination or potentially imaging like an ultrasound or MRI to identify any anomalies in the tendon structure. Rest and proper load management are crucial initially. Avoid activities that exacerbate your symptoms, like catching with that hand until evaluated. You can apply ice to the area to reduce any acute inflammation post-activity. Gentle stretching and strengthening exercises can be helpful, but they should be guided by a physiotherapist or healthcare provider to avoid aggravation. Use ergonomic wrist supports during activities that strain your wrist. This can help distribute the forces across the joint more evenly. Regarding the dizziness, if this occurs consistently with pain, it might be worth consulting a healthcare professional to rule out any cervicogenic contributions or even vascular factors. Keeping adequately hydrated and ensuring good nutritional status, particularly in electrolytes, might improve symptoms if related to exertion. Monitor your symptoms closely, especially the dizziness, if it persists beyond activity or is associated with other symptoms like vision changes or shortness of breath, seeking more immediate medical advice is warranted.
