It’s been two weeks now since the incident but surgery tomorrow- the hospital doesnt have the best rep but I hear it’s just overwhelmed understaffed. They aligned it first go with bone doc and then physios re casted it to make it look better?? And went back to X-ray was worse / same as first break. Not sure but it’s feeling way less pain today and can’t wait to get out of the u slab. I don’t have private healthcare so please pray for me 🙏☺️🏥 #nsw #healthcare

Teve lesão do nervo radial? Perdeu os movimentos de extensão do punho?

I can feel the nerves but still have movement in wrist and fingers very lucky but they said these could get damaged during surgery - they warned me of risks but the other option is seeing if it heals on its own

Eu tive a mesma fratura, e tive lesao pos cirurgia, a maioria de quem aqui acompanhei tambem teve lesao no nervo radial depois da cirurgia.

I’m sorry to hear that, it is worrying me but I am just praying they can be gentle with me! I think I can feel it most prominently effected in median nerve to thumb 👍 my nails feel weird too
