Ligament instability can be treated with prolotherapy and PRP (platelet rich plasma) with good results. Minimal invasive and almost no down time.

This wrist diagram illustrates the arrangement of the carpal bones and highlights the Scapholunate (S-L) ligament, which plays a critical role in wrist stability. Key points:

Bones Involved:Scaphoid: Located on the radial side, connecting with the thumb.
Lunate: Central carpal bone that articulates with the radius.

S-L Ligament: Connects the scaphoid and lunate bones.
Vital for wrist mechanics and load distribution.

Clinical Significance: Injury to the S-L ligament can cause scapholunate dissociation, which, if untreated, can lead to instability and long-term arthritis.

This diagram is essential for understanding wrist anatomy and recognising pathologies associated with ligament injuries.

Every year I complete 30 hours of medical education. As part of that requirement, there is a minimum of 3 hours of opioid training. I often take this through more traditional medical education sources. It is so frustrating!! All these examples of people who can be helped with something other than a pill. There are ways to resolve chronic pain and stiffness, but not with a pill.
