The Friday before Christmas (12/21/12) I sprained my wrist at work. I filled out an accident report immediately afterwards. Yesterday (02/04/13) they finally got me in to see a doctor. They did some X-rays and found that the little bone at the base of my thumb was misaligned by 2.4 mm (That's a lot, apparently) which is irritating my other wrist bones. The cartilage that was torn is scarring up instead of healing, and there is a chance the bone itself is broken.
The doctor I saw prescribed me some Vicodin, gave me a better brace, and got me an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon to discuss my options on Wednesday. I hope surgery isn't necessary, but its looking pretty grim right now.
