I fell and broke broke my left wrist and had surgery . Now I have nerve damage in my palm and little finger . My physician has given me pain pills that do not relieve the pain and now talks of more surgery. I serve on a Presidential Council on Health Care and am fairly knowledgeable , but I do not want more surgery etc. Any suggestions.? Thank you . Sunny Scribante

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain that you have can be due to a nerve compression or mild damage to the nerve fibres. To know the exact cause, you can get a nerve conduction velocity test done before deciding for the next surgery. Conservative treatment can also help you.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
