I am absolutely devastated I don't know where to start. Injured my wrist in May, details here Had many follow up appointments and xrays - all said no sign of break but come back again to make sure. A few weeks ago had bad tingling in fingers, was decided I had been usuing it too much and was getting a carpal tunnel like problem due to swelling from ligaments. (Had been told I could use it a bit more)
Roll on to today where I had my first specialist appointment, I was expecting to be told it was fine, maybe a wee bit of physio needed but nothing major - pain is much much less and have full range of movement. Had xrays - no break visable - good. But he said ligament looks damaged - he showed me the xray and you can see a space in between the bones and he says its much bigger than it should be.
He says he wants to do a telescope investigation under general anesthetic and then 2 weeks later another operation to stitch the ligament together and then in plaster for a few weeks I went in today expecting it all to be fine and now am so stressed.
This week is the last week of my job and next week I am starting a new temp one, its very physical and I won't be able to do it. But I dont have a contract...I am so fucked!!! I have no idea what to do now. I am still unsure if an MRI before the op would be an idea, Dr mentioned it then dismissed it as it "might not give a clear picture"
I have had all my pre op stuff done today by the nurse, including an ecg as I was tacchy. Its just all going so fast!!
I havent eaten since 9am and am not hungry at all. Am so stressed
