Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / March 2005Possible Hand Injury.....
Sent e-mail message From: scooter_girl_01@webtv.net(Bonnie Brien) Date: Thu, Mar 3, 2005, Subject: Painful Hands..... My Doctor told me that a possible "injury" that appears (on recent hand x-rays) to have happened some time ago on my left hand. I do have osteoarthritis in both hands...... He wants me to have a cat scan on my hand (s) to see whats up since my hands continue flare up. Bonnie "Possible injuries" are odd things. I remember getting my foot x-rayed due to a broken bone and the doc looked at the image and asked about my broken toe as it hadn't been set properly. I didn't even know I'd broken it. At least I found out why it sometimes itches like crazy. (g) Since then I've broken several toes and I have no idea how I could have missed the first one - hurts like ****. Hopefully the CAT scan will solve things and hopefully it won't be as interesting as my xray, lol.

Bonnie It turns out that I have--at one point---injured my hand, breaking a bone in it (wasn't aware of the break). The bone is dying and i have to see an orthopedic surgeon next week.

Please keep us informed on all the ins and outs.... Harv All fingers work--Hand pain--hurts Bonnie > It turns out that I have--at one point---injured my hand, breaking a > bone in it (wasn't aware of the break).

SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare He mentioned that the bone could be removed and replaced with plastic?? Bonnie Hmmmmmm...............this sounds like some sort of AVN or something similar. Wonder if Ari or Diane W would know about this? Donna G Have you had a bone broken (that had to be removed and replaced by plastic---etc??? What is the surgery like? Never had surgery on my hands before Bonnie orthopedic doctor appointment result: It turned out that I did break my wrist (not my hand)--BUT--he said that I'd have to have it fused if surgery was done--(won't need surgery for about 20 years...unless anything worse happens) I nixed that fusion idea..... But I will have to get a supportive device made in OT for use when I lift heavy things with my left wrist, after that no further occupational therapy is needed.
