I visited the wrist surgeon last week. He was thrilled with the x-ray of my wrist. He was very happy to see my range of motion turning my palm to face the ceiling. I still have nagging swelling, nerve numbness and minor tingling, and much stiffness when I bend my hand down. It's 20 -30% only and I hope to get to 50% +. That takes lots of heat, icing it, pushing and stretching it till it hurts. And I am supposed to massage the scar a TON! That is supposed to get rid of the scar tissue.
My scar so far:I visited with an older sister in my ward and she has the same scar, same fracture, same plate in her wrist. She showed me how much movement she has and she still plays the piano in Primary. She gives me hope!
