Wrist Injury?!
Question: I fell Oct 17 and hurt my wrist. The radiologist read my MRI and thought it was Osteo Edema with possible Keinbocks Disease. The nurse misread the reporrt and told me I also had a broken wrist. I have been going to occupational therapy as per my doctor. I have regained like 5 degrees flexiablilty.
But I AM STILL IN PAIN. Around the wrist. Around the thumb. And down the forearm...including hot pain down the outsides of the forearm.
All the bone doctors in my one horse town have given up on me. I think it may be time to go to a neurologist. They are suggesting a wrist specialist.
So from what all I said...can you tell what might be wrong with it?
I'm not going to see a doctor until after the holidays.

You may have injured the bone but, also the nerve. The bone could come back without a problem but, the bone may need some manipulation to revive it. Only an neurologist can do this. He may be able to do it without surgery but, may still need to take you to an O.R. and put you lightly to sleep for your own comfort.
There is no ?magic bullet " for this so, co-operate and be patient.
any problem that you need to go out of town for, I would always suggest Johns Hopkins in Maryland. I live in Arizona and I am taking my daughter there in March. they accept a lot of insurances. good luck.
so you fell on your wrist huh? sounds like an excuse for chronic masturbation... hehe
well just a few days ago i have an ankle sprain..
what i did is, i apply pack of ice twice everyday on my ankle.. then i wrap the affected area with a stocking really tight.. combine with rest, the swelling on my ankle lessens and the pain starts to go away...
that is only in my own case so i dunno if it will work for you..
..yeah KAY G.. i have John Hopkins book for home remedies . It is really good.. a lot of step by step info. on how to cure diseases..
i did that and now i have tendinitis, it may be that, which if it is, they told me that there is no cure it will go away but keep coming back if you move it alot.
