A guitarist came with complaints of left wrist pain and swelling a few days ago. She had been training vigourously and held the 'chords' with the fingers (left hand) and subsequently did her biceps and triceps curls using dumbbells. Soon after the episode she started having pain and noticed 'fullness' in the back (dorsum) of her wrist.
