Last year, I took a fall onto a concrete surface. My rotator cuff took more damage. The forearm was painful with severe tendenitis which finally went away after six months. The wrist is still painful when I apply pressure and I finally gave up and saw my hand specialist. We took x-rays. I turns out that I had blown a tendon in my wrist and have to have one moved to pull everything back into line. With any luck, I will be back out of pain by September.
