Guest guest Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Thank you so much everyone . My name is , I'll be 30 next month. I'm married with 2 children, an 11 yr old son I home school, and a 7 yr old daughter who goes to public school. My husband is very supportive, but I don't think it's possible for anyone to really understand, and it's very isolating. Let's see, I'm on Endocet10/325 and Celexa from the depression which I never had before, Xanax for anxiety, also post injury. Just a background: I was visiting my husband in the hospital and slipped/fell on a wet hallway (they were mopping, no sign)- I caught myself with my right hand extended behind me. The hospital helped me at first, then just said they weren't at fault- luckily they approved me for a pain management doctor before then. Once I was in with him, he began seeing me while I work through this ridiculous lawsuit (I'm uninsured, I just wanted my medical paid, and they just STOPPED). He calls the injury something like " Scapholunate Ligament Tear Pain Syndrome " or some yada yada name like that. I just know he said he's never seen anyone fall juuuuuust right (go me) and tear it. Anyway, I sustained the injury September 30th, 2008. It has been a depressing stressful road. At this point, my wrist goes stiff, pops and clicks, swells, and just feels like broken glass whenever I need to do anything requiring squeezing, gripping, twisting (mopping, writing,cleaning etc) but I have gotten to where I can type pretty well on this mini netbook thing. I'd never hurt myself before this so it's been a little hard to get my mind around it. I have Bier Blocks every 3 months, they help in my opinion. I'm kind of being told that the goal is for it to not hurt while I'm NOT using it, which is depressing since I am right handed. My goal is to get this case to trial, and get enough money to pay for the surgery, although I understand it's a low success and they prefer to do it within 4 months of injury. I don't know, I am just kind of going with the flow right now. I'm pretty much financially ruined thanks to this. I've had to accept my new life- before this, I was independent, now my mom helps me a lot, the house isn't clean, which I enjoyed having done. I'd never been depressed. It just sucks. I'm aware I need to find some support, so here I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
