My wrist injury is not a break, according to the MRI I had done Monday. However, according to my treating physician, the pain in my wrist is from two "large", pre-existing ganglion cysts in my wrist and has nothing to do with the actual injury from two weeks ago.
And no, these cysts are not visible like the one I had before...
So why do I have continued numbness throughout my hand? Presumably, it's from the splint he prescribed me to wear!
Regardless of the outcome of my current "medical" treatment, I want to see a specialist regarding those cysts... and I want to be able to make my ride this fall. All of this falls into doubt since there's a lot of paperwork and waiting involved since I need to change primary care - or at least be pronounced "cured" so I can seek treatment without workman's comp. (The doctor I want to see won't admit me until this is cleared up (according to the office staff.)
Not that loss of function can be described as "all better now." Hey doc, you're being a pain in my butt. Perhaps you can kiss it to make me feel better?
