I have been in agony for the past 5 weeks
with *supposingly* carpal tunnel syndrome.
My gp didnt have a brace to give me so
she told me to rest it and go back and see
her if the pain continued, and it did. So
I went back she said she would write to
the hospital physio dept to get me an
appointment asap. Anyway the pain was so
bad I ended up going to a+e 3 weeks ago
and they told me to keep moving/using it.
I was still in pain last week so I called
my gp to see if she had sent the letter to
the hospital, which she had, so I called
the physio to see whats happening and she
told me that there was a 3 month waiting
list, I told her I was pregnant and she
told me my gp had not explained that on
the referral letter. Anyway to cut I long
story short the physio saw me today (she
was really nice) and told me that I have a
broken bone in my wrist and not carpal
tunnel syndrome. So now I am strapped up
I have to be x-rayed next week and
because I have been using my wrist I have
torn a ligament aswell and I need an mri
scan after baby is born and then I will
need electric treatment what ever that
is?
I am in agony

Wow that sucks - sorry sweetie, at least
the physio picked up the problem
quickly.
Do you know how you broke it?

Didn't the doctor even do an exam? That
sounds painful. I'm sorry you had to go
through all that time in such agony.
