I fell and broke my left wrist about seven weeks ago. Doctor slapped a cast on that baby and I thought I was good to go. Then I discovered last week that a tendon to my thumb ruptured. How can that happen with a cast on? I don't get it. 48 weeks 3 days ago 280
I'm having some mild pain along the little finger side of the wrist. The hand surgeon I saw last week thinks it is something called ulnar styloid impaction syndrome. I looked that up on the internet so I think I have a pretty good understanding of what it is. What I didn't find was what will happen if I don't have the recommended surgery? Can you help answer that question? 1 year 20 weeks ago 440
I have a painful wrist problem called impaction syndrome. The X-rays showed that the tip of my ulnar bone is too long so it's smacking up against the bones in the wrist. The first surgeon I saw says she can shave down the tip of that bone or remove part of it or all of it. The second surgeon I went to said, no he would just remove a piece of the bone and collapse it down so it would be more natural. Do you think it matters how it is done? 1 year 20 weeks ago 1,207
When I saw the hand therapist for my wrist pain, she did some interesting tests on me. She would put my wrist and hand in one position and tell me to remember how that felt. I wasn't allowed to look during the test. Then she shook my wrist and hand out and asked me to go back to the position I was in before she shook me out. I was surprised how accurate I was. What's the mechanism behind this? 1 year 20 weeks ago 272
