Can my wrist just heal!!! I miss weightlifting!!!! And my wrist hurts ALL THE TIME

So yeah you know how a fall on your wrist (or having your wrist bent backwards when having an impact injury) is like, the cause of all bad wrist injuries but generally they go "oh ye that's a fracture" or "oh ye that's a bad sprain"

Well how about tearing a fucking ligament? A tfcc tear? It's a lil legit triangle of ligaments and cartilage in your wrist that helps stabilise the ulnar side of your wrist. I now can't hold plates. I can't rotate my wrist so my palm is facing upwards. Its a struggle to turn door handles, hold my phone, or hold anything that needs the support of my little finger and the outer side of my palm. And it is THOROUGHLY DUMB AND I DON'T LIKE IT

#im already 3+ weeks into recovery and theres been no improvement #these tears apparently take 4-8 weeks to heal if its not a bad one #im looking at 3+ months if its bad but doesnt need surgery to fix #i need to get an mri tho bc if its a complete tear that requires surgery and ill have my wrist in a brace or cast for 6wks #this is such a dumb fucking injury #how did u do it jo you ask? WELL #I WAS HOLDING THE DOOR HANDLE TRYING TO STOP IT FROM SLAMMING IN THE WIND #but get this THE WIND CAUGHT THE DOOR #so it SLAMMED while i was holding the handle and pushed my wrist back #and i was like haha ow that hurt #cue me unable to hold a plate at work the next day like haha uh this actually really hurts #pain was so bad and in a specific spot ee thought it was a fracture #it was in fact Not A Fracture #sees my physio for something else and goes oh i hurt my wrist #he stops midappointment and gets me to do like six tests to do with my wrist #oh yeah thats definitely a tfcc injury #if it doesnt feel any better in two weeks its likely a tear #me: oh oh yeah alright okay
