Question: I am a golfer and have had some serious left wrist pain (I'm right handed golfer). At times, I cannot bear the pain to play so finally I went to Dr. They did X-Rays and MRI (without contrast). The only thing they say they saw was a bruised lunate bone. so they give me NSAIDS and a splint, tell me to ice it and rest it. I rested it 4 weeks and tried playing golf again. Pain was still there and radiating to my hand (between my lunate and knuckles). I also get some pain in the right side of my wrist (while palm is up). So I go back to Dr. on Tuesday and they say I may have tendonitis as well so he gave me an injection in the joint of the wrist. Told me to take 2 days off before I play golf again. Just went to play golf again today and I felt great for the first 20-30 shots and then it began to hurt again like crazy. They discussed possible Kienbocks but said that is an unlikely diagnosis. I am concerned there is something else going on and they may have missed something while only doing the MRI without contrast?? What would you recommend I do? I rely on playing golf as a source of supplemental income so I need to be able to play and play without pain.

Thanks for your answer. I do not have the MRI & XRAY files to uplaod. What do you suggest i do from here to do further testing for possible Kienbocks and or something else?
