I went to see the doctor about my wrist and elbow yesterday and he said i need an operation someday in my wrist,when i can't take the pain no more ,and that i got a pinched nerve in my elbow that makes your hand go numb and yes he can fix that to .But for now i will just take cortisone shots.I have a few skinny parts and my wrist is one of them lol hugs Carolyn

At least you now have an answer to what the problem is and can decide when you are ready how to handle it - two hands to work with again at least ... sorry your hurting ... will a hug help ? x0x0x0x0 Glenda

Very colourful ,hope it isn't very sore.It looks like your doctor must have gone to the same school as my husbands previous GP.His inside arm turned extremely colourful over a large area after the GP took blood & stayed like that for about 10 days.
Looks like you will have to have the operation if you want to get back to be able to everything pain free again.Had to have a benign tumour out of my hand & the only pain I had with 13 sts,was when I stuck my arm up in the air so I could it through the armhole of the top I was putting on.Let out an awful scream which even startled me.Before the op I was dropping things & the was went right up the arm

I have to agree it does sound like carpal tunnel. I had the surgery for it and now I'm fine. We seem to have things that are the same or similar. Hope you are feeling better. Arlene

I have had the surgery for a pinched nerve in my elbow. It was done by a sports medicine surgeon, and it was the easiest surgery ever! I had my arm in a splint for a few weeks. Very little pain--only mild pain the first day or so. I didn't even have to have any physical therapy afterwards! The cost wasn't too much either. I highly recommend it.

Golly, that looks terrible, I have had shots in my wrist and never had a bruise at all, and that looks like the wrong place for the shot, it should maybe had been closer to a little hollow where the wrist beens..Sorry thats the nurse in me...many years. hope it stops hurting soon....

That looks really deep. I hope the shots work for you a long time. I have nerve pain and it is the worst pain there is. If he gives you exercise's do them, if he doesn't - find some, I have to do mine to ward off pain.

Ouch! I have gotten similar shots and know how painful it can be. Be careful. I know you don't want to be in a cast again, but maybe if you have the surgery, you will not have to be casted again.

Wow Carolyn! That looks extremely sore. Not that you need telling but you should keep an eye on that over the coming days just to make sure that no infection has set in. You might tell your doc about the benefits of regularly changing needles in machine embroidery in the hopes that he gets the message and uses a sharp needle for your next cortisone injection.

That looks pretty sore. After working with several people having wrist pain they broke down and got the surgery and wished they had been brave and had it done sooner. Their pain was gone and afterwards wondered why they put it off for so long. Hugs.
