Conditions & Injuries

Front rack, bench, curls, deadlifts. Gym wrist pain comes from three loaded positions, and which one hurts tells you which structure is complaining.

A short stiff paddle puts the work through your wrist. The falls that fracture wrists, the overuse problems that build slowly, and the five changes that prevent most of them.

Aching hands with no swelling, no locking and no single sore spot. What general overuse pain actually is, the specific conditions it hides, and why rest is the wrong treatment.

The commonest bone tumor in the hand, and usually harmless. Why it’s often found by a finger that breaks too easily, what gets done about it, and the warning signs that change things.

Benign, despite the name — the second commonest hand lump after a ganglion. How to tell it apart, why it recurs after surgery, and when a firm painless lump needs imaging.

Reattaching a finger is the start, not the end. The phase-by-phase rehab after replantation, what recovery of movement and sensation realistically looks like, and the risks in week one.

A tendon transfer re-routes a working muscle to do a failed one’s job. The four rules that decide the result, the re-education phase nobody warns you about, and the honest timeline.

Pain at the point of the elbow that hurts pushing, not gripping. How triceps tendinopathy differs from bursitis and rupture, and the loading plan that actually settles it.

In a crushed hand the bones are rarely the problem. Pressure, swelling and a closed space are. The first 48 hours, the warning signs, and why stiffness is the real long-term risk.

Extensor tendon injuries rarely need surgery, and that’s exactly why they get dismissed. What the zones mean, which ones have a deadline, and the knuckle wound that’s an emergency.
