Had surgery in March... severed APB, severed radial collateral ligament, damage to the synovial saddle and carpometacarpal joint..

Anyhoo.. finished physio about two weeks ago and been allowed to use my hand 'normally' again.. but last week I started to get an increase in the pain at the joint and stiffening.

I'm a bit worried I might have done something to it.. and tbh I'm a bit scared to confess this to the unit at Hospital because they'll bliddy kill me if I've buggered it so soon..

The consultant did say it could be painful for up to a year after surgery but it wasn't too bad and seems to be going backwards if anything. Is that normal..

Bumping for a clever bod.

I've looked all over t'interwubs but nothing. I'm crossing my fingers there has to be a physio here... surely.

Don't make me ring the Hosi.. my physio was scarey..

Not a physio but I am an ex-acupuncturist and would say that in my opinion it is quite common to experience some pain and stiffness upon resuming normal movement with a body part that is'nt used to this. Your best bet would be to have a quick word with your physio about it, or failing that , your doctor.

Just get on with phoning them, if you leave it too late you may have your whole hand amputated!

Well lets hope you wont but better to be safe than sorry hey. Know what you mean about being scared of health professionals but they are supposedly there to help us!

I haven't felt any pings or pops.. and my thumb isn't flopping around and able to move places it shouldn't (like it did when it was injured

).. so I'm hoping it's just that.

I know.. I should ring up my physio.. but quite frankly the woman is lovely... but bliddy frightening..

Ring the Physio Tupps. I worked in a physio department for many years and they would rather you rang then leave it and it gets worse. If nothing has pinged it doesn't sound like you've caused any real damage just sounds like using it normally has caused it to ache.

I don't think there is much chance of amputation by the way

Ok..

I'm not good at this malarkey. And I will have to confess to holding something heavier than 4kg. She'll kill me.

Ello Tuppssss!!!!

..I'm the same with hospitals and medical people, they really intimidate me, but I'd phone rather than suffer longer....

No dont go confessing to things that will get you in trouble

Just tell her you dont know what happened and flutter eyelashes. I would say twizzle your hair but that may be with the pre-amputated hand.

Then he might kiss you all better

Get on the phone ya wuss. Believe it or not, they really don't want you to be in pain, and if you don't let them know soon as, you might do even more damage, and end up losing the whole arm! Hope this helps...no need to thank me

the whole arm..

what even my gert big anchor tatt

I know.. I'm pathetic.. I admit it. I just don't do medical malarkeys.. you know what I was like post surgery and through physio.. I couldn't be doing with it. I think I'm worried I've done something to it.. because I can't go through months of physio and not being able to do anything again.

I'll ring. She'll kill me. But on the upside, if I'm dead, at least I won't have to wear that frickin' splint.
