Wrist Update

Oh, I should write an update on the wrist!

The surgeon looked at my x-rays and then poked and prodded my wrist and asked me questions. He says he thinks the screw might be protruding a bit into joint space. If so, it could be damaging cartilage, and potentially causing arthritis. It's hard to tell from the x-rays, so I'm getting a CT scan next, once that gets scheduled. I'll keep you updated!

He did say that the scaphoid break looks nicely healed, and the position of the bones is good, which I found promising. I'm not quite clear on whether the (potentially) protruding screw could cause the kinds of symptoms I have, but it sounds like the answer is maybe. *grins* I don't really want to have more surgery to remove or trip the screw, but if it helps I won't say no.
