    Saw my consultant

    On April The 27th my Physio decided there was no more she could do with the progress of my hand recovery. So was asking my consultant to bring forward my appointment from 24th July. As she think my problems are becaused by the screw touching the Radial nerve, which is causing sharp painsin my wrist, index finger and thumb base. Just by doing everyday things with the hand.
    Mr Chapman said the fusion of the joints is looking good, and feel the screw needs to be removed as it could be that causing the pain. He is also going to get me an appoitment to have a nerve conduction test, to see if I have any trapped nerves within the area. He will contact me again after I have had the test to arrange operate to remove screw and also release the nerve if any are trapped.
    So back to waiting again for the appointments. I had the first operation on this hand 26 months ago and at the moment it is worse know than it was before that operation.

        Goodness, that is a long time to be in pain nannycuddles . It does sound as though removing the screw is a good plan.
        I do hope the treatment works and you don't have to wait to long for an appointment.

          No wonder it's still so painful. The very thought of a screw touching a nerve makes me wince. I do hpe you don't have to wait too long, NC. xx

            NannyC how dreadful to have pain for this amount of time. Fingers crossed that you're on the way to getting it sorted now. ☺

                  Thank you everyone. I'm hoping its soner that later. It's got so even hold a fork to eat with is causing pain. Over the two weeks it have became worse. It was be nice to be able to hold little Emily properly instead of tucking her under my arm. Come to that she that used to me doing that she would most likely cry. Lol

                      I've been coping with nerve pain since 2001 and it really is awful. Hopefully they will find a way to help before too long. Might be worth trying the Actipatch free 7 day trial as it has helped me to some extent.

                        Thankyou might look into that.not sure if it would help in its down to the screw catching onto the nerve as they think could be happening. But the could also be carpol tunnel as the pain shout into my middle finger and the palm side of the wrist. There is getting more things that trigger it off.
