When do you need surgery for hand and wrist injuries?

Miss Tanya Sarkhel, orthopaedic surgeon talks about how hand and wrist injuries should be treated, sometimes injuries heal on their own, while other times hand therapy or an operation might be required.

I broke my wrist yesterday and I really don’t want surgery

[Gbreakers]

My wrist has sharp pain when bending back it’s been going on for 10-15 years I played high contact sports through college. I can literally bend my wrist in every direction except back without pain.

I was told by my chiropractor that I have tenosynovitis. It's has been doing well. However, myself and a friend lifted heavy furniture the other day and now the pain is excruciating.
I will need to see my dr and have them refer me to someone who can help me. I do believe I need an MRI on it so that we can pin point what is going on in there.
Ty for this info!

I am due for surgery at the end of this month after an injury occured resulting in the widening of the scapholunate interval, 5 months ago.However i now in doubt whether i actually need surgery as i have regained about 85/90 percent movement in my wrist.I have already returned to doing excerises with light weights up 2 X 15kg dumbbells max.Today after 5 months i managed to do 10 push ups(which was my goal) albeit with a little bit of pain and discomfort.I feel with physiotherapy for maybe a couple months i will be back to at least 95 percent without surgery.I will keep you posted.

I remember I couldn’t bend my wrist very well. I was afraid to go to the doctor because I thought that he/she might tell that I needed an operation.... It took around 6 to 12 months of leaving it alone but it is functioning normally now without an operation.

I tore a tendon in my left wrist and I was in line for surgery but then it got better I thought and now I may need surgery because it’s getting worse!

My hand got microsurgery and I accidentally hit my elbow backwards. I feel like freezing the elbow area until fingers all. What should I do?

[SwindleGee]

Idk wtf to do, I got into a fight and slammed the kid 60lbs heavier than me and landed on my wrist and elbow. I can move it but I never felt a pain like this in my life, I’m a waiter and can’t afford to be out of work nor wanna go for surgery (no health insurance)
Supposed to go back to work today and really don’t think I should
