What to expect when I get my pin removed from my wrist.?

Question

Had torn legaments/muscles repaired 3 weeks ago. I forget if it's a button or a pin that I have, but how do the docs remove it? I mean when the time comes it'll be 6-8 wekks i had it,wont my insides grow on it and then pull when it comes out?Does it hurt?And does anyone know how long to regain full use of my hand/arm? It's the hand I write with/do everything with and this cast is getting old.I have a 3 yr old son and my fiance works 60-70 hrs a week second shift so I'm on my own, it's hard, any pointers? I still cant use my fingers,swollen and sore. Thanks everyone for your time!!!Appreciate it!!! p.s. sry if it dont make sense,been up for 48 hrs... :)

Answer 1

My situation was somewhat different than yours since I had a screw removed from my tibia that had been in place for about a year. The Dr used a Phillips screwdriver and simply backed out the screw after making a tiny incision for the screw head. Felt weird but wasn't painful. I had been in frequent and often constant pain before the screw removal and no pain in that particular area after the screw removal. The screw was almost 2 inches long.

I'm guessing that since your injury is much more recent that you will have more pain after wards, so I'd suggest you stock up on ibuprofen and have some frozen peas or ice pack handy to use as needed over the next couple weeks. It might be six months before you are completely pain free. good luck

The wrist pins are only accessible as a matched set with the pistons. you may also favor new earrings and to refinish the cylinders. this can cost about 3,000 and also you ought to nicely be extra proper off paying for a rebuilt short block engine.

They will knock you out and it will be sore like when you had it put in, but will get better after a couple of weeks, but you will have to do physical therapy for about 6 months to a year to get full function back.
