Interesting article about the wrists, maybe i ought to go back to the basics of rolling the forearms to create my golf swing again. Lately, i had a bout of golfer's elbow(grounding the club hard?) that forced me to stop my golfing season early. Any other tips to prevent such is much appreciated. Maybe we could hook up again with a mutual friend (Mr. V. Daez) sometime. If you're in the Poughkeepsie, NY area do holler! Salamat(thanks)and more power.

I think that a thumb brace that could fit on the index finger side of the thumb would help. I am right handed and have tried to change to a "baseball" grip but cannot hit the ball that way. I am 71 years old and have a 15 handicap, but if I can't control this pain I may have to quit playing more than 1 or 2 times per week. I usually play 3 times a week and 27 holes each time. Thank you for you comments and suggestions. Don I have a lot of pain on the thumb side of my left wrist, that I am pretty sure is caused by my overlap grip.

My leading(left) palm on the opposite side of the thumb has been causing me pain as a result of hitting at the range(first time). I thought it might be the hamate bone but the pain seems to come from the protruding bone on that side above the wrist. I believe it is the pisiform bone. If I don't use the wrist much the pain goes away after a couple days. I went to an orthopedist and xrays were taken and she examined me and could not find anything and suggested it was a sprain. Yesterday I hit about 30 putts on the carpet and the pain returned. It still hurts today. Any suggestions-I was thinking of asking for an MRI or a CT scan.

I have sold over 10000 splints to many golfers who have this common complaint. The research I have done, as well as the Japanese Society of Hand Surgeons, on over 2000 patients show that this is a viable solution for patients with ulnar sided wrist pain, pain with rotation, pain with grip and pain with weightbearing. Please let me know if I can send you a splint to try in your practice and see for yourself. I look forward to hearing from you. Wendy Howard, OTR, CHT, Clincial Research Coordinator Hello Dr. Gomez,
