I'm sorta annoyed with a fracture clinic appointment I just had. I've broken my 4th metacarpal. The doc basically said, although my ring finger is pointing in a different direction than the others, because I can make a fist, that's fine. Said surgery is an option, but we'll just let it rest. Surgery would be trading a scar for a bump on my hand? He also said a cast is probably better, but we'll use a brace. But I can come back if I want a cast?
What I want is a hand that works, Asap, and one that will allow me to type (which is essentially what I do for a living) without any future issues brought about by a crooked finger.
Anyone know much about these things? Do I just wait three weeks for my next appointment?
I wish I'd been able to talk a bit more at the appointment, but I needed time to think about everything as it was a pretty confusing and quick meeting.
