I feel your pain. Did your surgeon say if there was any ligament damage? For your sake I hope not.

I am currently in a cast for a TFCC tear in my left wrist. I injured it in the middle of June golfing when I caught the lip of a fairway bunker on my follow through. It didn't start to hurt until two days later when I put some weight on it. I only finally got a firm diagnosis two weeks ago (when the cast was put on) and I was working through this for a month until the pain level became too much (transit operator, kinda hard to drive a bus with one hand). Unfortunatey the pain only seems to be getting worse, so it might require surgery.

I recommend stopping by a home care centre to get a reuseable cover for your cast when showering. It is so much easier than trying to tape a garbage bag around it. Mine cost $35 plus tax, while worth the convienience factor.

And for someone who is used to touch typing, it is a royal pain typing with just one hand.
