It is my pleasure, please share the videos with your friends and family!

Thank you so much for these videos. Your videos are very helpful as an OT student. I appreciate that you include physical therapy in your recommendations for treatments of a variety of conditions; however, it would be amazing if you could also mention the importance of occupational therapy in treating these conditions, especially upper extremity conditions. I think OT is often overlooked and it is a vital part of a patient's recovery. Thanks again for everything!

Thank you for sharing.

@Sailor Moon No it will not be sudden. Signs of recovery will depend on your habits. I use a computer all the time, so typing and using a mouse has become easier. From a mental perspective, you need to accept the fact this is going to take a long time to heal. Nerves are a bitch if they get bruised. Or if you have a bone fracture in your radial nerve area that is suppressing the nerve, meaning the nerve is bruised. Another sign, which will sound weird, but if you scratch the side of your head with the hurt hand, it should feel really weak, and difficult. Signs of improvement will show that you can do this more normally and with more strength. Cutting fruit is also a sign of improvement if you feel you have more power to cut said fruit, like a lemon or orange. Either Way, assuming the nerve was not severed by a bad cut, or some other trauma you WILL HEAL. Like I said I can finally move my wrist up, and that is the sign to full recovery. I don't have wrist drop, but I am not fully recovered. My hand is still fairly weak. Meaning I could not lift a weight without a wrist splint yet. The bad news, this could take up to six months to heal, the good news you will heal. I like this channel, so I can tell people they are not screwed. When I first went through this, it was scary, so I want to tell people not to freak out. Others on this channel have reported full recovery as well. Hang in there, wear your wrist splint all the time. And try to use your hurt hand as much as possible for normal activities. and I do not advice seeing a doctor anytime soon. I did, because I was scared and they did nothing for me, they did not even know what they were looking at. Then I got slapped with a $3,500 hundred dollar bill for nothing. This heals on it's own. Just get a couple of good wrist splints. And use your hurt hand as much as possible, to a comfortable degree. Last thing I will say, if you have numbness on your thumb, upper hand or anywhere due to the injury, do not worry it goes away. That scared me alot.

I don't suggest taking steroids. just time and a couple of wirst splints.

I got this after falling asleep in my office one night. Woke up, and had to deal with this for almost 8 weeks.

Tendon transfer is not the only option. A nerve transfer is an option. Two branches of the median nerve to radial nerve. FDS to ECRB wrist extension, and FCR to PIN finger extension.

Mine develpoed as a post operative condition following carpal tunnel repair on the radial nerve using a radial axillsry block as anesthia. I woke up in severe pain in the recovery room. My surgeon had already gone and left me in his partners care. I was in so much pain they could not release me from the hospital and it was supposed to be an outpatient procedure. No one seemed to know what was wrong. When my durgeon returned to work he knew immediately what was wrong. The pressure of the wrist drop was pulling on the axillary section of the radial nerve causing severe pain. He orderedca brace to be put under the cast my wrist was in and the pain stopped almost instantly. It took almost a year of intensive therapy to regain 90% use of my hand . There are still certain movements I can't make, like the boy scout salute or counting to 3. This can be a debilitating nerve injury and should be monitored if it doesnt heal after a few days.

thank you for this information !!!!!

@MsMedic1972 check if the EMG HAS ANY RECOVERY IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU NEED TENDON TRANSFERS

Thank you

Three weeks ago, I had a horrible snowboarding accident that lead to a broken humerus. After a 3.5 hour surgery, I was unable to feel or move my wrist and fingers. The doctor diagnosed it as radial nerve palsy. I’ve been going to physical therapy and doing exercises every day. The feeling and movement in the wrist are slowly coming back, but the fingers… not so much. i can’t make a thumbs up, or extend my fingers at all. It’s been hard, and there’s been some depressing moments. Reading the comments in this section makes me realize that I’m not alone. Just gotta keep working hard and being patient.

I was unable to move my wrist upwards or extend my fingers. Yeah it's been insanely depressing man. It's been a month and I can now extend my fingers. My wrist still has the characteristic "wrist drop". I've been doing physical therapy twice a week. The neurologist is like 3 months out. I have been trying to find an answer online to no avail.

Wanted to share that I got Saturday night palsy. Can initially be scary when you read online it takes months of recovery in even mild cases. Not necessarily true, there is a huge variance in recovery times. For me it took 4 weeks for full recovery. Was dominant hand and I live in China so couldnt eat with chopsticks or cook for a week and a half. But gets better!

@naomi13jf who teaches you ortho ? i may be able to help your medical school i studied the island it is as good as cyman island or even better thanks

I had this at the end of january after probably passing out in my own bed after too much alcohol. The first doctor gave me a brace, and told me I would get up to 90% of the functionality back in 6-8 weeks. I think it took 13 weeks. Everyday tasks sure became much more troublesome.

hi , I wanted to share my bitter experience. I had suffered from radial nerve palsy after I fell down from my motor bike and broke my right hand humerus. It was in Last august 2014. It was so painful both physically and mentally as doctors have not given any time frame of recovery. I was worried, and thinking what if I can not recover. This video here gave my insight about my injury and the comments the hope to fght back. I had gone through physio therapy for 3 months and finally recovered from it and able to work normally. I even started driving my bike in due course. I really feel grateful for my physio for his help and positive talk. I had to use dynamic cockup splint though it looked very awkward when I was using for typing on keyboard and doing exercise . Advise all the fellow injured to keep your spirits up and believe that you can recover fully from this.

its to good to understand the wrist drop.

@Tublokque you need to see pain mangement

You should have a EMG nerve studies completed.

In high lesions, such as in fractures of the humerus (particularly mid-shaft fractures where the radial nerve lies in the spiral grove), or due to prolonged tourniquet pressure, there is weakness of the radial extensors of the wrist numbness over the anatomical snuff box. They are also seen in patients who fall asleep with the arm dangling over the back of a chair ('Saturday night palsy').

great video!

you are amazing, thankyou. learned alot!

excellent sir

Anybody watching dis n having doubts keep pushing I made a full recovery frm dis only thing I can say now is my arm get tired real fast then normal, n for the people who freshly broke it keep to ur rehab everyday put ur wrist over a chair n try to lift it everyday u will see progress it may hurt at first dem sharp pains u gon feel frm ur nerves feel like ur arm on fire but keep fighting, it started wit my thumb which came back first then so forth

I had this April last year and was on a splint for almost 3 months. The nerve will be repaired after 3 to 6 months.

@smokinthepot not sure of the complete answer some of the info is true

I got a touch of that Saturday night palsy. Only been about 4 days. Ordered a splint and am doing exercises. Trying to use the affected arm often. It’s also my dominant hand, makes things quite difficult.

It is controversial subject on whether or not the nerve will recover on its own. After three weeks you should have an EMG (nerve conduction study). If the nerve is not cut, there is a good chance of recovery.

My doctor said I need a surgery to have titanium plate in My broken bone and suggest to have a NERVE EXPLORATION to fix My radial nerve palsy. Months after My surgery I still had this Radial nerve palsy despite of having Nerve Exploration procedure.
