WITHIN 24 HOURS OF FEELING WRIST/HAND PAIN,FOR NO APPARENT REASON I WAS IN SO MUCH PAIN, WITH SWELLING TO THE DORSAL AREA AND WHERE MY FINGERS WERE BENT OVER AT THE SECOND JOINT, THAT I ATTENDED THE A & E DEPT OF MY HOSPITAL. THERE WAS A MINOR CUT TO MY PALM WHICH WAS APPROX 2 DAYS OLD, SO THEY ASPIRATED THE AREA IN CASE OF INFECTION, WHICH RETURNED AS NEGATIVE, PRESCRIBED DICLOPHENIC AND CODEINE AND GIVEN A WRIST SPLINT.

I wanted to know if it is possible to have a wrist replacemtn surgery after you have had the wrist fused?

My friend injured his wrist and had surgery to fuse it. He complains about having trouble driving and doing household tasks. I want to know if he can get a wrist replacement so he can bend it again.

In a few weeks I'll go through the PRC for SLAC wrist.

I'm interested in the practical outcome of the operation, especially for sports.

I've read about “30% mobility up and down, 0% to 10% lateral mobility…etc”…but practically what can you really do after the PRC.

Will I be able to play squash, volley ball, badminton, weight lifting, karate, bicycle (now I can’t even lean on my handle bar)…do push ups..or even shake hands painlessly?

Thanks for taking time in sharing your experience and knowledge.

I'm a 57 yr. old woman. I broke my wrist sept 7. i broke both bones in a colles fracture.
I was in a cast for 4 weeks.
I'm having pins and needles and numbness and I have an appt with a neurologist to test for cts.
I have a small deformity in my wrist from the break.
my wrist feels like it's sprained.
my wrist is still weak and swollen but much improved.
I've been getting pt and taking vitamin b and bromelain.
i'm not diagnosed with ostopenia but there has been a signifact reduction of bone mass since surgical menopause in 2001.
I work out.

I am having the PRC surgery in November and I am trying to research it as much as possible and what I'm seeing scares the crap out of me. I broke my wrist in Feb. and had 1 surgery in June and have been in physical therapy since march but nothing has helped. I'm in pain all the time and pretty much have very little movement. Worst of all this is my dominant hand. Has anyone gone through this and what can I expect??
Thank you for any response.

hi all, i had a full wrist fusion about 10years ago! after various ops to stop the pain nothin worked. The pain is unbarable depending on wot i do eg writing etc and its always swollen on the top of my wrist above the fused joint! would it be possible to have the artificial joint fitted since my wrist is already fused? many thanks lee

It seems this is the problem I have, I'll try to be brief.

A couple of days in at a new job I developed swelling a few inches up from my wrist at the location described by the syndrome. With no pain at the time I thought little of it and continued working (lifting, hammering)

After a couple more days the swelling went down and a creaking at the spot of swelling started, when I bend the wrist, along with minor pain. There was no discolouration. A general mild swelling of my hand I noticed at that time.

Dear Sir Madam

I had an accident in 2002, Os naviculare-Fracture & Distal Radius Fracture which was first treated conservatively and then with later with screws & external metalwork after it moved.

I have had severe chronic pain (CRPS1) for 6 years, and this has lead to the following operation.

I recently had a wrist fusion to my left wrist and at the 6 week point I found out that the wrist was not in the position that was expected (now neutral position).

I have recently had a writst fusion and am very concered with returning to work and other daily activities, I have heard that lifting some things is possible. I am trying to go back to my perfession before surgery which is a Mason Tender/ Laborer. Do you think this is going to be possible? I also wanted to know if there is any other complications with people who has had a W.F? I know using a can opener is difficult and buttons, what other daily activities have people had complications with? Thank you for your help!
