[@jonathannatapong8326]

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

@@gouthamb2093 the idiot cut off my cartilage and bone so the ulnar is flat and I’ll never be able to rotate my forearm. I had no idea what he had done until after 11 weeks after the surgery. I’d guess that normally you’d get more range of motion pretty fast after doing exercises but the swelling can take up to 18 months before it’s completely gone.

Can't imagine the pain of breaking both how did it happen

[@pookab5905]

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.

[@garethleitner9547]

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.

[@LaurelMilano]

I had my surgery a month ago and the block was the worst part. They just stab you in the shoulder with anesthesia and then you have a jelly arm for 24 hours lol. I’m in a removable brace, but still experience some pain and swelling. Haven’t gone through PT yet.

[@susannac4404]

I got this snowboarding in February this year, I have a titanium plate and 5 screws but my hand/wrist is at basically 95%. I'm getting the metal removed in the winter sometime just cause I'm still growing (hopefully), thanks for the good video!

[@susannac4404]

@Trinity Huerta23 the scariest part was waking up from the anaesthesia tbh😅 but it didn't hurt, and I was off painkillers (ibuprofen) after like 2 or 3 days. I did physical therapy as well which helped a lot, I think as long as you know your limits and stay healthy you should heal really fast!

[@senorasheikh8018]

My new year start with distal radius fracture

[@techsolutions4882]

Same

[@Christynmaine]

Excellent video and exactly what my doctor has done and told me to expect. My only concern is that I have very little movement in my thumb one month post surgery. I haven’t read In comments that others have had this problem. Hopefully with patience and OT this will improve.

[@Christynmaine]

@whome? What a coincidence. On my follow up visit last week I learned that the tendon is no longer attached to my thumb. 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!

[@Christynmaine]

@whome? Oh, ok. If physical therapy doesn’t help, you might want to ask what surgical options are possible. I got a second opinion and even with the thumb problem I’m glad I did.

[@HayzTV2023]

Same problem 😭

[@annetteslawson1722]

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. 😢

[@Jordan-bj7pw]

I broken my wrist over two years ago. Now several times a year I get the broken wrist pain and swelling if I barely injure it or work it kinda hard.

[@Newman81964]

I broken the end of the radius off and split the end into 2 pieces. They put a " T " plate and 9 screws in. About 1 1/2 weeks after the surgery, I was out running a chainsaw cutting down trees. They didn't cast it as I am allergic to cast material and just had to wear a splint. Everything healed up great, although it does get cold in the winter.

[@alanroberts7916]

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 ❄️❄️❄️🥶🥶🥶.

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!

Well I broke 2 bones in my wrist during practice one bone came out of skin the other was broken I did 2 surgeries and spent 4 months with a cast and then removed it and now I'm looking at 1-3 months of the physical therapy and a minimum of 2 months of not playing basketball and the whole thing gave me depression man like its just shit man and this is probably my last year playing with some of my teammates fuck injuries man

[@PrinceGalib]

I fall out from stairs and my hand swelled. I did x-rays of my hand, a my doctor says i got radius colle's fracture then he gave me cast in my hand and said leave it for 42 days.........""now i want to ask you after removing the cast can i use my like before?""....... Can i do weight lifting?

[@gollalappahadpad7761]

Please advise me Doctor

[@ilikebasketball5788]

I just hurt my wrist today and have cast on how long did it take to heal my doctor said it was non displaced

[@JackoBanon1]

6 weeks if the bone doesn't move anymore. Otherwise you'll need surgery.

[@nobodyb5575]

The question i wanna know is does it go back to normal? Will i worry about pain or will i have ti stop doing certain things

[@JackoBanon1]

Depends on how bad the fracture was and how well the surgery and physical therapy went.

[@JoZe23]

I'm in 2 weeks recovering from this same surgery. Has anyone had this same surgery done and still been able to play the guitar?

[@CutiePie232]

How are yoy now? Are you able to play???

[@southguy8917]

Are you allowed to do light weight exercise after 9 weeks being out in the cast due to wrist injury? And also when you can start lifting weights again?

[@jonathannatapong8326]

I broke my wrist on the last day of year 11 and I don’t want to be in a cast for prom 😐

[@sharonanthony6338]

🙋‍♀️ hurts so bad. It hurts worse on the lateral side of the ulna. Anyone have similar symptoms?

[@MakeAsylumsGre4tAgain]

Yep 😢 I’m 3 weeks after surgery and in so much pain some days. Worst pain I’ve ever experienced

[@longschlong682]

I don't know what's up with my wrist but I can't bend it 90 degrees also I hear weird bone cracking when trying to bend it. It's been like this for past 2 and half years.

Me too, I guess it’s just the limited mobility, it’s a ache feeling, the tight skin from the healed scar when they snitched you up

[@flightrisk6176]

I’m going on week 5 post surgery, I’m still in a cast and it still hurts! It was a very severe break.

[@user-hi4vj9st6n]

How are you now?

When you will remove the plate ? Thanks 🙏

[@chrisreed26]

I broke my wrist two weeks ago..they put me in a Sugar tong splint/sling..An x-ray was done and said it was non-dislocated and unremarkable..good I guess..ER said it should heal in 4-6 weeks but to see a ortho in 72 hours..haha right..uh no insurance!! 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! The ER did not even show me the xrays they took just said it was broken but not the bad dislocated break..even told me all this in a public waiting room!!!

[@aslmad1]

How is it now?

[@annawright896]

Broke my wrist 2nd April, surgery with plate and screws fitted. Stitches became infected last week so antibiotics to clear infection. Still numb in some of my fingers palm and wrist. Very sore at times and not much strength. Keep trying to drive my manual car but just haven't the strength to change gear.

[@aslmad1]

Hi. Hope your well. I was hoping there would be no numbness after surgery. Im waiting to have surgery in a few days! I hope getting the implants is the right decision 😬 A part of me thinks I should research and get second opinions. The other part just want to trust someone and get it fixed right away and have faith in the doctor

[@CarlJohnson-rr5zj]

I broke my wrist in February and It still hasn’t fully healed. I was able to take my brace off about 2 months ago. Will it ever heal?

[@minibikemedia]

Did your wrist ever heal? I just had surgery for my wrist

[@CarlJohnson-rr5zj]

TrencH Baby yeah it did it was my fault it took that long cause i took off my brace too early i shoulda waited like another few weeks

Broke my wrist in a fight with an inmate. Got surgery and a plate. I screwed up and became too active too soon and now I hurt myself. Im afraid I’m gonna need surgery again!!

Hi, my grandmother broke her wrist 2 days ago. Its already cemented. However, her fingers are still swelling and she is telling us that the pain reliver she's taking doesn't seem to help her feel relive. My question is what should/can I do to help her reduce the swelling and pain? We are worried for her but don't know what more can we do to hel her.

[@luisfregoso5221]

i have swollen fingers after 1 month the doctor just tells me to keep my elbow and wrist above my heart and it also differs person to person

It is key to keep your wrist elevated above your heart 24/7. My swelling has gone down significantly in 4 weeks. Don't forget ice!

is the metal device put in place permanent or does it get removed later? What are the complications?

[@natashao3728]

Saw in another video that it is permanent but about 5% of ppl get it removed after problems with their tendons. It’s made out of titanium and doesn’t cause trouble at airports

[@JackoBanon1]

If you are young you should consider to remove it. In the unlikely event that you break the same wrist again your bone will break into 100 small pieces otherwise and then there won't be any chance to restore it again.
