What Causes Swelling And Pain Radiating Between Palm And Forearm?
Question: I had TFCC surgery on my right wrist in October 2014. Know, I'm having pain and swelling from the palm of my hand down not quite to the mid for-arm. I've iced it down and wear an elastic sleeve to help with the swelling. It feels worse than an old nagging toothache. I just completed two visit with the OT, but it was already hurting before then. Any suggestions or ideas?
