At the beginning of October, I tripped over in a spectacular fashion and fell on my outstretched hand. I had a suspected scaphoid fracture and a chipped radial head.
After two x rays on my scaphoid, they still weren't sure whether it was broken so I was sent for an MRI, which happened last weekend.
I've now had the results: it isn't broken, but the MRI shows 'minor degenerative changes' in the base of my thumb and wrist. Does anyone knows what this means?
I'm not particularly worried, but curious really. The letter tells me to go back to my gp for referral to physio 'or another pathway'. I'm pleased, because it is still quite painful and I'd like to get it sorted!
I know I'm being impatient, but can anyone shed light on what might be going on?
