PF docs.. pain in palm

[stockymcstock]

Hey all, was after some advice. For the last 6 months or so I've had a pretty decent pain in my right palm.Pretty much in the centre of palm.it goes away sometimes so haven't worried too much but gets easily triggered off again.

It hurts when pressure in middle of palm so bike riding and things like that upset it. If I'm real careful for awhile to be careful of it then seems fine. But then I'll push pram handle or lean on a spanner too much etc and its bad again for a week.

Any ideas? Amputation?

These types of things are often very tricky to diagnose cleanly. I could list 10 different things that can cause similar pain. Depending on the exact position of the pain, and the exact things that set it off (loaded extension you mention hurts, as does cycling) it's probably a referred pain coming from one of the carpal joints and projecting distally a bit. Could be a TFCC tear (google that shit) or a scapho-lunate dissociation issue (and that). Best person to see would be a hand specialist Physio (they do exist, I work with one) or, if none around perhaps a hand and wrist surgeon who will probably refer you for an MRI straight off before making moves on it.
