Wrist surgery has not relieved pain. What can be done?

Question: My father had surgery to fuse his left wrist together. He has little to no cartilage left in his wrist and was looking for any kind of pain relief. Since then, he is still in the same amount of pain, and has limited mobility now. The Doctor doesn’t seem interested in trying to figure out the problem. Is there someone you can recommend or anyone you think he should see?

Answer:

I would recommend that he see one of our hand and wrist subspecialists to see why he is still hurting and what can be done to decrease his pain.
