has anyone had wrist injury (soft tissue and cartilage) before and how did you recover?
one of my wrist has been unusable for anything that requires much force since i hurt it a year ago
the best i can do with that hand right now is to open a moderately heavy door single-handedly (literally) without feeling much pain afterwards
i've talked to 4 doctors, 1 physical therapist, the doctors all tried to be vague so as to not make any promise, the therapist said something like "there's a chance you can recover 90% of it" and told me to keep coming to physical therapy
but then physical therapy is pretty expensive
so i'm just posting to ask whether anyone experienced anything similar before and whether you could kindly offer some insights
also is there any campus sports club that doesn't require healthy wrists?
i wonder why sports have to make use of hands, like damn why can't we box with feet and shoot basketballs with toes
like i guess theyβre not big exactly but i canβt quite wrap my fingers around them when i body check but i can pretty much tell theyβre never going to get smaller cause i can tell itβs my bone structure and i hate it because it feels so invalidating and triggering that i canβt wrap my fingers around my wrist. i have a friend who just has the tiniest wrists and it makes me so jealous rip
As I said before I have an ek in my class and her mom is a k. So this happened when I was 10. Our teacher let us play outside for 30 minutes before we went home. Now this teacher knew all about eks ways. Our school has lots of playground equipment like swings, slides, seesaw and balance beams. My friends and I were playing one the balance beam. I told all my friends I was about to do a cartwheel on the beam. As I lifted my hand off the beam to do a cartwheel ek with all her might pushed me into the fecking wall. My wrist smacked against the corner of the STONE wall. I could see that my wrist was bleeding and a bit of my bone was sticking out of it. I was crying and my wrist really hurt.
T: ek. Stand against the wall now. U don't push another student and I think op has broken her wrist.
My teacher called an ambulance and found k to tell her what ek had done. Then from the ground I heard
How dare u. Ek would never do that
T brought k in the playground to get ek. When k took one look at me and said
Get now. U are obviously faking it.
I...I.. can't
K: yes u can. Thats not real blood and ek would never do that.
T: k stop. Op is in a lot of pain. Can u take ek home. She will get her punishment tomorrow.
K: WHAT. EK DIDNT DO THAT. SHES OBVIOUSLY FAKING IT. GET UP NOW
T: k leave now.
K waited for the ambulance to arrive and she said
Hey u guys. Isn't that brat just faking that arm injury
The paramedics check my arm and told k
No. This girl has an open break and needs to get to the hospital.
K: what no. She's obviously faking it. She's a liar.
Thats when k kicks ny arm. I cry even harder and I wince in pain. Ek got a 2 week suspension and i had to get an operation for my arm. Also k was banned from doing school runs. Ek is very Entitled and I have lots more stories of her and k. Also ek Ik u have reddit so thank u for breaking my wrist.
My mother has CTS in both of her hands. She has undergone surgery in her right hand but not in her left. Due to excessive work over the lockdown, her right hand has actually gotten worse and due to the healthcare system collapsing, we haven't been able to contact an orthopaedic for quite some time. She has been taking quite a number of pain relieving medicines-not at the same time, but yes, over the past one year, she has tried neuropathic pain relievers as well as the ones related to arthritic pain. Lately, we've noticed that her bone around the wrist seems to be protruding, not in a dislocated way but more as a growth. Is this supposed to happen? If any of y'all have any experience, let me know.
Hi. I'm M23, based in India. Since past 2 weeks I'm experiencing that my right hand wrist bone is hurting me when i bend my (right) hand. Also, when comparing my both hands I feel that it some part of my wrist bone in right hand (I really dont know what's it called) may be misplaced and come out a bit or raised a bit. Also, on comparing both hands and after pressing on that part then it pains on my right hand.
I am attaching a picture of that part here
I donot know how this has happened or why this happened. I want to know how to make that normal again. I also donot know what to do with this, please help me.
I broke my wrist 7 months ago, non operative treatment, been out of the cast fully for almost 6 months. Went to many PT sessions and continue to work on it at home. (still not satisfied with my progress and range of motion, I do feel like my wrist is limiting me) I am constantly thinking about my wrist and very worried of the permanent damage I have caused. I am trying to stay optimistic and hopefully continue to see progress in ROM , aching, stiffness up to the 1-2 year mark. The new physical limitations of the wrist and how it doesnβt feel normal is a constant reminder that takes a huge mental toll. I can usually forget about it for an hour or two but Iβm being constantly reminded which places me in a state of overthinking and worry. I find myself always researching articles, videos, and anything and everything possible to make me feel somewhat optimistic about my continued recovery. (It is very difficult to be optimistic)
For those who have broken a bone, how did you mentally recover from it and how long did it take for you to get out of the state of constant overthinking and worry ? Did you just begin to accept your new limitations or your βnew normalβ ?
