So maybe three weeks ago I hurt my wrist a little because I came into full cobra pose incorrectly. In a few days the pain seemed to go away, so I kept doing hands and knees yoga--until my wrist really started to hurt by itself. There is no bruising or swelling so the nurse at work said I must have just pulled a tendon or ligament and wrapped it.
Problem is, the symptoms align perfectly with dorsal wrist syndrome, which is caused by repeated weight bearing on an extended wrist- i.e. yoga poses. This can be very serious and sometimes requires surgery. It is also hard to diagnose because it doesn't show on an X-ray and the pain SEEMS to go away after a while. But the injury is still there.
I am very afraid of having permanent damage and/or needing surgery. But my family knows about my anxiety and thinks I'm overreacting about a little sprain. I don't know what to do :(
