[@abigailacayan]

We 're excited how've you been. I'm on my 4th month after the post ORIF Distal Radius with wrist implant. Still with stiffness and shooting pain sometimes. Looking forward to watching your vlog about your condition.

Salamat napanood ko video mo. Parehas tayo nangyari. Pa 2 months na ako na surgery. Nababagalan ako sa recovery ganun pala talaga. Sobrang tigas pa rin ng wrist ko. Simula na rin ako ng theraphy. Salamat ulit. Nagkaroon ako ng pag asa na bumalik sa dati kamay ko wag lang mainip. Godbless.

[@blogsnippets]

Yes, laban lang. i’m glad nakatulong itong video sa recovery. My hands are functional now and I am already working, continue pa din ako sa pag eexercise as much as possible at wag biglaing magbuhat. Healing takes time.

[@ryanphilip1660]

Need part 3 in coming months please

[@blogsnippets]

Will keep it in mind.

[@blogsnippets]

Thank you for watching.

Thanks for the encouraging videos. Fractured both ulna and radius now 8 weeks after surgery. It's really hard especially supination and pronation, after exercising soon it stiffens up again with less range. Did you experience the same? When will the stiff feeling in the hand be gone and feel more normal again pls? Its especially stiff in the mornings when I wake up 😢 I really want to travel four months post surgery but fear of stiffness, pain and discomfort is holding me back. Did you still have to continue with physio exercises during travel many times a day after discharge from physiotherapy?

[@blogsnippets]

Hello, actually it's been already a year since I had the metal plate surgery. After my cast was removed 1-2 months after surgery I remember and it was impossible for me to supinate due to stiffness, thankfully physical therapy helped me with that. My hand is normal now and can do the basic stuff. There's only mild stiffness in the morning especially when it's cold but can be relieved by exercise and hot compress but I don't need to do it everyday. Usually the stiffness and pain just go away. I don't force myself to do heavy lifting. About travel, I was able to travel 4 months post-surgery and right after I finished the physical therapy but I traveled with companion to help me with some things and I was very careful even now I always protect the hand. During travel I brought the stress ball, hand gripper with me and just continue the exercises. My other hand (the normal one) is also very helpful all this time.

[@blogsnippets]

During those period I would always see my Ortho doctor for follow-up and updates. I also had follow-up x-ray and CT scan to make sure that bone was healing properly before I got into physical therapy.

[@blogsnippets]

You can talk to your doctor about your concerns. I was able to ride a bike during my travel in Vietnam (4-5 months post surgery) using my two hands. But I made sure my normal hand was taking the lead coz I don't want any accident to happen again. Other than that I don't do extreme activities that might harm me.

[@ywl8876]

Thanks for sharing your experience, it really sheds light on the recovery path. Was there still alot of pain and stiffness/tightness by your Vietnam travel? I constantly feel some tightness around the wrist.

[@blogsnippets]

@@ywl8876 Hi, probably I felt it sometimes but not really a lot of pain/stiffness. I would say I cannot even remember it. I just make sure I still take care of my hand.

[@TheTisay18]

[@blogsnippets]

Welcome.

[@giridhargadde4892]

Will it takes 6 months to start opearating laptop and resume to work i undergone left hand wrist communited volar bartons fracture.

[@blogsnippets]

Hi, in my case, I was already typing in the laptop keyboard to exercise my fingers after 2 weeks-1 month post-surgery but not too much because the wrist will strain so I have no choice and just use my only other normal hand to type and do my work. Please ask your ortho doctor to be sure.

[@hercapitalinvestment]

get well soon..

[@blogsnippets]

Thank you 🙏

[@shortsmpp8322]

My left hand not moved after operation Any suggestion

[@blogsnippets]

Same with me but try to move or wiggle the fingers as much as possible even if it's painful. I was able to move a little bit the next day after operation. If not, call your surgeon/doctor.

[@gayaniamarathilaka853]

My right hand not moved to after pop sergery, now nearly six months, I am very disappointed, i am doing daily excesses. 🤔

[@blogsnippets]

You need to inform your rehab and ortho doctor about it.

[@blogsnippets]

I hope you get recovered soon.

[@gayaniamarathilaka853]

I met my athopedic doctor again, he said, need to more phesiotheraphy to my wrist damage, for back to normal 😮
