It's likely a TFCC tear. Very common for climbing. Link to wrist widget on amazon which includes testing for TFCC tear.
Thanks! Bought a WristWidget to try and helpmy wrist, it's arriving today and i'm climbing tonight, will see how it goes!
I highly recommend you get this checked out by a doctor or climbing physio.
I felt this exact sensation of my forearm painlessly "separating" from my hand on several different kinds of holds (slopers, holding myself into an overhung wall using a pinch were the two most notable).
I had already been neglecting some level of wrist pain when twisting my wrist in either direction for a couple of months at that point and even once I started feeling this weird sensation I kept climbing for a few more weeks until the pain became unbearable. Finally got it checked out by a hand specialist and it turned out that I had a torn tfcc and ecu tendon subsheath resulting in ecu tendon subluxation. It took me more than 7 months of no climbing or any other exercise using my wrist until I could climb pain free.
Definitely don't do what I did. Stop climbing/working out until you get it looked at by a professional and hear what they have to say.
edit: if that isn't an option or you don't want to do this for whatever reason you could try using this: https://www.amazon.com/WristWidget-Patented-Adjustable-Triangular-Fibrocartilage/dp/B0056PQV2K/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1WEJNPIV6CTQF&keywords=wrist+widget&qid=1551033906&s=hpc&sprefix=wrist+wi%2Chpc%2C198&sr=1-2
it's what my hand doctor recommended I wear when recovering and it should help with subluxation assuming that's the cause of the separation you're feeling
Hey! I got the MRI for a suspected tfcc tear as well but it came back negative. That said, my hand specialist still thinks theres a problem with it. It might just be instable without a tear. I recommend doing rice bucket exercise, and also the hammer one helped me I think. You grab a hammer by the handle and rotate it slowly to reinforce your wrist.
Good luck and if you find out its something else please let me know what it is !
I also wear this all the time https://www.amazon.ca/WristWidget-Patented-Adjustable-Triangular-Fibrocartilage/dp/B0056PQV2K
I had a similar thing. In fact I still feel it now, about 3 to 4 months later.
The short version for me was:
Wrist strengthening exercises didn't really help me I feel. Stretching could be helpful though. I always stretch my wrists a bit before climbing now.
Don't worry, your gonna be fine. Just give it some time and concentrate on other things in the mean time.
I had wrist pain in the past and used a wrist widget while playing which helped immensely. It doesn't look like much but this thing works.
