What do you recommend for a severe skier's thumb? I tried wearing a cast for six weeks but it still hurts terribly and I can't really pick anything up with that hand. 4 years 4 weeks ago 333
My brother had the choice of having his broken wrist (the scaphoid) treated by surgery or by cast. He picked the cast because the total bill would be so much less. I'm not sure why the doctor would offer him the considerably more expensive surgery if the cheaper option was available. 4 years 6 weeks ago 334
If a broken wrist (on the side of the thumb) can be treated by either cast or surgery, why would surgery be picked over casts since there are more risks to surgery? 4 years 6 weeks ago 377
I received a steroid injection for my carpal tunnel syndrome. At first, the pain was gone but now it's slowly coming back. Is that normal or have I re-injured my hand? 4 years 10 weeks ago 244
