Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi,I broke my scayphoid in my wrist on November 1st 2016 while running up a flight of stairs in work while rushing to a meeting.For 3 weeks I wasn t aware that it was broken.1st time I ever broke any bone ever and I m 42.so I ended up in a cast for 8 wks only to be told that I needed it for a further 4 wks.i was nervous getting the cast off but optimistic.however 6 months later pain arrived and I went to the Doc to get an injection.i got 8 wks relief then the pain came again and another injection ensued but this one lasted 3 wks..from there I was given tramodal for the pain.again back to the Doc this time I was referred to a Physio and after 6 sessions this was to no avail..I requested an mri only to be told today that nothing is there..just general wear&tear enough though I m left handed.now I m on 60mg of etoricoxib for the next 2 wks and if there s no joy there he s going to send me to hospital to see a hand surgeon..can you advise?
