Thanks xrayted! That is great info and the visual to go along with it. I do not recall them taking a shot with my hand positioned the way you describe or show but it was a really long day so I really don't remember. I remember fist with palm down, open hand palm down and open hand palm up and one with radial side up and fingers fisted
I have another visit on Tuesday with a second orthopedist at a different practice. I have never sought out a second opinion in my 47 years so this is a first. I just don't feel right with his recommendation when two radiologists from two different places both saw fractures.
Oakleaf his recommendation for treament was to put it in a cast for 3 months if it is broken and to do nothing if it is not broken. He did make me a 30 second semi soft spica to wear while we were waiting for the CT scan. I wore it part of the day today but it was making the pain worse than it has been for the past 13 days.
I got myself a thumb spica wrist splint to wear until Tuesday so I am at least holding in a stable position if it is broken.
