[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 434332, member: 1233"] ((((((((((hugs)))))))))) I know how scary it is to think that you are not going to function as well in a few years. Hound is right, Joints take FAR longer to heal. And complications like being hit with the bat often are not fully visible right away. I have found that some PT's anc Chiros are FAR better at reading xrays and MRIs than ortho or neuro docs or radiologists. Maybe they take more time, or they understand how the body works better, but I haven't had a radiology report that jibed with what one of three PT's or either of two chiros I have seen say about the films. The times I have had 2 or 3 of them look at the same films they had the same answers. In each case the Pt or chiro was correct and the radiology report was not. So go and listen and see what he has to say. I also have movement that the docs said would never come back after my neck surgeries. They expected about 75% range of motion to return after my first vertebrae removal and fusion, and around the same amt for the second - but it was lowered to 60% after he got in there and saw the condition of the bones, etc... I had 95% of function returned after the first and 90% after the second. Having your wrists need things will be hard but you will adapt. A relative has had both wrists fused. She has found ways to do almost everything she did before - it just doesn't hurt her hands and wrists as much now. You may have to adapt your guns if this is needed, but maybe not. My mom shoots and does quite well even with both wrists fused. This is NOT the end of useful hands/wrists. It is simply a bump in the road that knocked out a tail light and you got pulled over by a cop. I am so sorry that you are having complications though. [/QUOTE]
