What kind of injury is this?!
Question: What kind of injury is this.?
About a 1 and 1/2 years ago I fell off my horse and went under him. Besides the other injuries, I also broke my wrist. After being in a cast, the top is still purple and bruised. It's always stiff and will give out. I went to an orthopedic and got an MRI and they said that I tore a ligament and recommended surgery, but I decided against it. It's come back about 4 months later, do I need the surgery.? Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Torn ligament means it won't repair itself, it will stay damaged unless you do the surgery. It is of course your decision, but you will never have full use of the hand and will probably continue to reinjure yourself regularly. The surgery is your only real hope, you do need it, yes.Health Question & Answer
