Wrist fusion and continued pain

[Guest guest]

Hi:

i'm not sure if anyone on this list can help me or not but thought i

might try.

i had a total fusion on my right dominant wrist on August 31 for

something called Kienbock's disease (avascular necrosis of the lunate

bone). I am over the post-op pain but am still experiencing pain in

my wrist 6 weeks post-op. My questions are: is this normal? and if

anyone has had this procedure is your ulna bone very prominent? from

looking at my x-rays and looking at images on line - it looks like my

ulna bone is not fitting into the ulna notch on my radius bone.

the surgeon seems to think that i should be pain free by now and is

not really giving me very good answers as to why my ulna is sticking

out. i can deal with what it looks like but am getting really worn

out by the pain.

if anyone on the list has had any experience with this - i would love

to hear from you.

thank you.
