I now start physio in a months time a week after I can take my wrist splints off, counting down the days and it's nearly three weeks until then!
I'm starting to go a bit mental, not being able to use both hands fully is really frustrating as an architect! I've joined a gym just so I can put in some miles on an exercise bike, I don't have the wrist strength or pain threshold to get on the turbo (which is probably a sign that I shouldn't!).
As my wrists are in splints I probably have more movement than with casts, and with the physio exercises I have been given for my elbow which exert a fair amount of pain on my wrists (not the elbow), I can't work out if this is doing me any harm. If I forget that my bones are fractured, and move my arm without realising this, my body definitely reminds me of this fact!
With the limited movement people have from casts and splints etc did they still experience pain in these fractures, and when does the pain stop?? How long into the healing process?
Have others had physio to do whilst their joints are broken? Did this hurt? I don't mind the pain as long as it isn't making things worse!
I have been told that I don't need my fractures x-raying again? Is this normal?
