LANA == Wrist fusion information?

[Guest guest]

Deb, if you get a chance, you should add this and others to the new database

Barb created

Will do Lana. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Not been reading

posts unless my name or subject is sticking out. Just too punkey to sit and

read but feeling a bit better today.

Another dr apt tomorrow and then hopefully no docs till after the

conference.

It is always something right?

See you soon!

Wrist fusion information?

I was just wondering if anyone here had undergone a wrist fusion at

all and could offer some information and advice on the procedure,

recovery and management please. It is looking very likely that

fusion becoming the best option for my chronically unstable left

wrist as I am spending more time in casts than out with it

dislocating and breaking so easily.

I know it will mean a loss of mobility in my worst and hand, but at

the moment I'm pretty much stuck in a fusion position from the

constant casting anyway, so it wouldn't be much of a trade off

really. I've already had my left MCP thumb joint fused and I'm

managing okay with that, but I know that the wrist is a much bigger

and more involved prospect. I don't particularly want it fusing

obviously but a rigid joint I can use has to be better than weak

untrustworthy or splinted/casted one.

I'm seeing my OS on Wednesday and intend talking over the situation

with him then. So any personal info and opinion good or bad would be

greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Love and hugs.....Jo
