You will need to listen to the surgical advice and what they are saying based on all the evidence that you/they have and we don't know.

You also need to pay attention to what your own body is saying to you - despite all the medical evidence, invasive and non-invasive, they don't necessarily know as much as you about the symptoms that you are experiencing.

Hi EmBee..

you dont mention your age which is a big factor on getting better..when younger 21 I fractured right wrist,3 ribs and elbow in one accident all healed well and gave no other probs..

2 years ago I fractured right ankle twice and metatarsal in same foot..again healed fine i was 48..

now this year in france i dislocated and fractured the radius ulna requiring 3 pins at age of 50 ...now it is 90% better after lots of physio from friends and stretching exercises for tendons..thought it would never improve early on..

I do euro off road riding for pleasure so slow speeds....cold weather hurts like hell and still need tramadol pain killers sometimes...on long euro road rides i need to stop every 2 hours to massgae and stretch the wrist..

it was my left that broke last time....uk nhs doctors won offer best solution...private is best as they have access to all the tools..

best of luck

The age is a condition, different for some people, a lot . One thing is sure
You have to carry on practice SOMETHING afterwards to "keep" the level .
Like an old instructor said
" Over 50 ( now it would be 60 or for some 25 ah ah :innocent:) if you wake up in the morning and don't suffer, you are dead "

First of all hold on and :mchappy: soon.
I had no real "expertise" about the wrist brake . Once I broke my arm ( last year of college) and the fixing was not so good so the surg' told me I would maybe only recover around 80% ( problems of metal inside and so on , in 71) .
With training and youth now my wrist is more flexible than the other .

Of course I have to train everyday for old wounds ! that is life .
Like some said, take another advice , at least .
And there are plenty of people that recover more , a contrario of the authorized advices of surgeons , riders in races( Neveu broke both his legs and keep on riding the full day :oops2:), climbers( Desmaison, Messner and so ) and martial arts .
take your time for decison but start physio anyway
best wishes :thumbup1::palm:

I have undergone extensive physio, full days for three months, but due to the bones not having set properly, my progress has hit a barrier. I wish I had youth on my side, but that is a distant memory!

private is best

I may sound out the head of the department to ascertain the financial penalty to have him carry out any op, rather than his junior staff.
