Went to new ortho
So I went to a new ortho doctor for my wrist. He took an xray and as far as my fusion, that looks ok. I do have a gap in the wrist joint and he said that with the fusion I have I will probably need more pt. He said I should have more range of motion then I do. This after my other ortho just kept saying, I don't know why it is so stiff. So next month I go back in for a recheck and he said he wants to get a mri done maybe even a bone scan. The Mri is done in the office so that's good. He reads all the tests himself.
I looked high and low for a hand doctor and found the best after doing reasearch on him. So I hope everything goes good with him.

Anyway just wanted to update everyone

I have had capsulodesis scaphoid, capsulodesis lunotriquetral joint wrist, debridement of triangular fibrocartilage all in my right wrist and a tendon sheath release(that was just one surgery) & a lunotriquetral fusion Plus now a wrist fusion
