Symptoms Associated With a Torn Ligament

Nobody ever wants to assume the worst and associate an ache or pain with a severe injury. However, tearing a ligament in your wrist usually presents some notable symptoms that should be taken seriously. Some obvious signs are pain and swelling in the wrist, but you may also experience:

• Extra pain with wrist movement or a certain activity
• Bruising or discoloration
• Stiffness or a limited range of motion
• A clicking or snapping sound

We’ll review your symptoms, complete an examination, and perform X-rays and MRIs. If we do determine that you have torn a ligament in your wrist, we have various treatment options available. We may immobilize or splint it, prescribe pain medication, or—if we determine that it’s necessary—perform surgery to repair the ligament.
