   Purpose, Prevention & Protection

   • know this affects the flexor carpi ulnaris tendon on the pinky side of my wrist, which helps bend and angle my wrist.
   • I know repeated wrist bending, gripping, lifting, or sports can irritate this tendon.
   • I know pain is often near the pisiform on the pinky side and may worsen with wrist bending or gripping.
   • I protect the tendon by reducing painful loads while keeping safe wrist motion and activity.
