Suggest Treatment For Pain In Ulnar Region After Surgery For Fracture
I fell aprox 4 months ago fracturing both my radius and ulna. I fell backward on an outstretched hand. I had surgery and a plate applied to the radius, my surgeon felt the ulna was stable. I have had ulnar sided pain ever since and now going to have an MRI to see if I have a TFCC tear. My surgeon states he s almost sure that is my problem. He also stated that on x-ray he can see bone deviation. I m told the ulna is 4mm loner ans MRI says sublixation of DRUJ with supination and I have chronic pain in this area.I had one injection but it only helped for about 3 days My Dr wants to do another injection I m just wondering if you think anothr injection is worth it or would the surgery be a better choice?
