the pain is around the Scaphoid bone area. When I bend my wrist I get a searing pain in that area if I try to put any weight on it. Even just wiping down my kitchen works tops with a cloth causes terrible pain. The pain clinic gives me some exercises for my arthritic back but many are like yoga so to put my body weight on my hands say on all fours feels like my wrist is going to snap in two.

Besides pain it's the usual stiffness and difficulty with task especially when gripping or the use of thumb is involved. For instance, using a knife and cutting an apple or anything where the item is held in your hand. Mine is no worse at any partiicular time of day but just gets more painful after overuse. I'm always overdoing this time of year since I love to work in the yard and garden.
