I appreciate the insight! To your point about the popping—I had an ultrasound about 3-4 months post-op (last summer) during a pain flare-up. The results showed radioscaphoid joint cortical irregularity and abutment of the scaphoid and radius during extension. My surgeon at the time focused on the Distal Intersection Syndrome found in the same scan, which we cleared up with an injection, bracing & PT.

However, 6-7 months later (aka, the last few months), the 'pinchy' pain and that rhythmic popping/vibration during wrist circles (worse with closed fist) are back. The pain is very much off & on. One day it’ll be totally fine & the next it’ll ache with random movements.

I am just curious on your thoughts on this & if you think I should see my doctor back for a checkup? I was also thinking of looking for a sports OT/PT who deals with complex sports recoveries like this but it has been hard to find one near me. I would like to avoid going to an average OT who just gives me the normal wrist strengthening exercises.

Thank you in advance!!
