Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was playing softball n I got a line drive right to my wrist. I instantly could had no movement in it and it s been a week and I still don t. I went to the er they said it wasn t broken and referred me to a hand specialist but I don t have insurance. Would you have any idea what could be wrong?
As there is no fracture this could be either muscular or may be related to the flexor retinaculum at the wrist level. Keep the hand in hot water and do gentle stretching post it. This. Should help improve the wrist movements and hand too. Due to compression of the vessels beneath the flexor retinaculum there might be a possibility of no hand movements. But nothing major to be worried for. You will do well with conservative management.
Regards

What Prevents Hand Movement?
Hello, Welcome to Healthcaremagic Thank you for providing the brief history. As there is no fracture this could be either muscular or may be related to the flexor retinaculum at the wrist level. Keep the hand in hot water and do gentle stretching post it. This. Should help improve the wrist movements and hand too. Due to compression of the vessels beneath the flexor retinaculum there might be a possibility of no hand movements. But nothing major to be worried for. You will do well with conservative management.
