    It's been 5 months now. My friend broke my wrist by dropping himself on me while I was laying on bed. I was shocked and as soon as I realise he dropping himself backwards immediately I used my two hands to hold him however my left hand wrist was slipped and broken due to his weight . It's not a joke going through this hardship months , I lost my job , spent 11k USD for my wrist surgery in Taiwan hospital. I was told to do surgery for the best result 1 hardware with 7 screws . However after surgery I experienced pains and can't move my left wrist , hard to take shower alone and eat especially if you're Seafarer life at sea is totally different and it's challenging with cold weathers and rough sea . However I was on medical leave for a month and my company sent me home safely. Once I arrived home , my mom is my everything she took care of Me. She bath me , cook me food ❤️. I'm so thankful for everything. About my wrist I went to see doctor check - ups every months .. and I joined physiotherapy for my wrist movements. However it's wasn't that easy journey for healings , need to control my emotions and other stuff , I can't do what I like since I have to be extra careful.. Honestly cost of medical check - up one day is about 120 USD 😭. I spent nearly 1.2k USD overall for my physiotherapy. And I started to do my self since I can't afford to pay , it's better for to help myself . Now it's 5 months 1 weeks. I went to doctor he said my wrist is healed however I wasn't allow heavy lifting. Now there's some changes on my nails as well , I have new nails growing. Doctor said it's because is healing.. My prayers for those who is struggling through this journey ❤️🙏🏾. Remember pain is not forever. Wish you healings

    As much as I like the UK NHS sometimes I think they cut corners as I was in plaster cast for 7 weeks due to a non displacement of the Scaphoid, waist fracture. Then I had an x-ray and cast off then told by consultant to just go home and carry on as before! No advice on exercises and was told that no physio is needed. I have been using my hand as much as possible but to bring my wrist downwards towards my wrist is virtually impossible no movement at all. He said come back in 3 mths if it does not get better. I am having to pay to see a private physiotherapist in a few days just to help me with some exercises and advice. To get to see a NHS physio it can take up to 12 weeks! I wish we had doctors like in this video, really good film thank you.

    I had the surgery for comminuted distal radius fracture. ORIF, with a "block". It was if I had had general anesthesia, having remembered nothing after I came to. And I was requried to spend the night in the hospital. Good thing I was on Medicare! 9 months post, there is still residual stiffness, but have recovered most of my range of motion. I don't regret having had the surgery as it shortened the time in a cast. Do have at least one OT visit post op to learn exercises to expedite your recovery.

Trying OT to get some movement but if that doesn’t work it will have to be repaired surgically. Possibly you have the same problem? Ask your MD. They will take a tendon from another finger(there are two so that finger can still be used) and attach it to the thumb. Good luck!

    How I wish I would have had a surgeon that was competent when I broke my wrist and had to have surgery to repair with hardware. After surgery, we asked about physical therapy and he said to just move my fingers, I'd be fine. Well, after developing CRPS and my hand swelled double the size, he finally decided I needed therapy. A year later, after therapy once a week, a splint to stretch tendons back, I still do not have the range of motion I once had. I can only bend my wrist back to a 45° angle, and I still cannot make a complete fist. 😢

    It's been almost 6 months and my left hand has been out of the cast for 4 months. Because of my age 68, I think it was best to just use a cast without surgery although my wrist has healed but is misaligned. My center finger is almost completely numb and hasn't gotten ANY better. I am left handed so my writing and art (acrylic paint) have suffered. If they break my wrist and reset the bones it could make things worse. At least it didn't happen when I was 16 and live with it my whole life. At least we are not in turkey or syria where 5 million are homeless in the middle of winter ❄️❄️❄️🥶🥶🥶.

    How to recover fast after wrist surgery like swelling and pain

  • @MadVideosYT
    @MadVideosYT Жыл бұрын

    I had minor pain when I fractured my wrist. I slipped on wet floor and my hand came right under my butts. I ignored the fracture. Now its almost 2 years. There is not a slightest pain. But I cannot do certain exercises like pull ups, pull downs (2 or 3 kg is fine), weightlifting, any dumbells beyond 2 kg. Doing so feels like my hand gonna come detached from the wrist. Thats it. Otherwise I am doing fine in life.

    I’m here 2 weeks after ORIF distal radius and ulna head surgery in my right arm from breaking both in a snowboarding accident. Had to get a metal plate and around 10 screws put in. To make matters worse, I also had a minor hairline fracture in my left wrist. Very informative video! I’ve gotten a lot of my mobility back that I thought I would never have again. I’m currently in a smaller splint cast than I was right after surgery and will be put into a small brace next week. Something I’ve noticed though is that my right wrist sticks up more than and appears a bit bigger than my left wrist now. Do you know if this is from the plate/screws in there or from just being a bit swollen still from surgery? Will this appearance likely subside at all? Please let me know if I just need to give it time for the swelling to go down!

So lets hope this heals on its own in the set up...question is is there a chance that it could become dislocated between now and the 6 weeks? It never really hurt bad but now at the 2 week mark my corner of my wrist is starting to hurt some..help I'm scared!

    My wrist was broken almost 2 years ago from an exploding airbag (I was blowing the horn at the time I was hit.). I have had 4 surgeries - first one applied external fixator on the day of the accident, second surgery 2 days later to insert a plate/screws, third one about 7 weeks later to remove the external fixator, then about 13 months later replace the plate with a bigger one (not planned, but necessary) and also did some bone grafts. I have done physical therapy 3 times a week off and on for two years (until recently), and continue my stretching and strengthening exercises daily. I have little to no supination, cannot make a fist, have little strength when using my wrist, and it constantly feels as though there is a rubberband around my wrist. I take 1200 mg of calcium with vitamin D3 daily. I was 59 years old at the time of the accident, was in very good health, and lived an active life with physical activities - bowling, fishing, dog training/activities, ziplining, kayaking, swimming, and grandchildren. I can no longer do these things, at least not comfortably. My surgeon has been very vague about my prognosis, saying that I will "always know I broke my wrist". He originally said that my wrist was "pulverized" and that there was "lots and lots and lots" of bone fragments (dusting - he might have said?). Sorry to be so long-winded ... My "Question" is - Is there any way to tell if my recovery to date (7/9/2018 to 5/21/2020) is as good as I'm going to get? My doctor said that the plate and screws are not interfering with the range of motion, and that there is a lot of scar tissue hampering movement (which he attempted to manipulate during my last surgery - VERY PAINFUL AFTERWARDS!). I just need to know if I need to make concessions for the things I can no longer do, or hope for more recovery. I appreciate any info you can provide. This has been hell!!!

    I just had surgery and have the beautiful hardware shown in the video. I've lost a ton in range of motion, which concerns me, but hopefully I'll make a full recovery. Anyone about to get surgery, know that the first 3 days are pretty painful. The day of surgery you feel absolutely nothing due to the nerve block, which is a sensation I can't really describe other than to say, it's like having someone else's arm hanging from your shoulder. I was handing my arm to people asking if they'd like to hold the baby lol. It really is weird.
