I am facing my fourth operation in about two years from when that dude that was high on Cocaine hit me, and no, he did not offer me his credit card to help me out!
I have had spinal surgery [Dysectomy) (repaired two discs) maybe May of 2006, had Carpal Tunnel surgery (August 2006), then in December 2007 removed the Cartilage in my left wrist as mine was torn in accident, had to shave all the muscle tissue down because it was all inflammed and had I believe a Dequervin Release (cut the sheath around the tendons).
Now I am faced with this:
It makes me say ouchie when looking at 7 and 8 in the Media files, but I will be under.
I am tired of all the pain meds I have been on for over 2 years (since March 2006) so the Surgeon who had to explain top me I have nothing left in my joint area due to post traumatic arthritis, which is different from Rheumatoid of degenerative Arthritis because it was caued by me holding the steering wheel and when my pickup got totalled, apparently all the energy travelled up the frame and released in my left hand.
I am just awaiting approval from workmans compensation for the wrist fusion.
I am trading off all range of motion for (hopefully), no more pain!
I was wondering if we have anyone out here who has had wrist fusion?
I will still have usage of fingers and thumb, just will basically all arm with no wrist motion.
Ok, just curious, I have spoken and researched for all angles, no more options left, either live with pain or take this operation.
I choose loss of motion because i am throwing the towel in on living with pain.
Just another readjustment is all.
