I broke my left wrist at home and I've been off work ever since Oct. 17 and I've been taking Occupational Therapy since say Nov 11...twice a week...

My wrist is still too sensitive to use. If I forget and use it or say just can't use my right hand...I scream out in pain. When I drive...closing the door is painful...

Will it ever get better or will it always hurt?
I have to use my hands to earn a living...is it time to hunt a different job? Maybe something that doesn't require lifting?
I check groceries for a living and so many things are to heavy for my new problemed wrist...I can't even pick up a jar of spaghetti sauce...I've been experimenting!

So what do you think???

The big deal is FORCE like lifting, holding, pulling, pushing.

I would see a good neurologist/surgeon. He can manipulate the nerves in the wrist. It sounds like you may have damaged a nerve when you broke the bone, I'm surprised the Doctor didn't recognize this when treating you. See a neurologist and he can make some easy tests and then will be better able to treat you, It's not that hard.

I completely hate people who say that, in my view, yet definite often times that's the authentic. words DO harm human beings better than actual injuries. The soreness of injuries is going away over the process time yet something that somebody suggested that made you sense in a unfavorable way could difficulty you for an prolonged time which motives an more suitable impression.
