fractured scaphoid??

Hi ridenread,

I had a somewhat similar experience after a crash. Nothing showed up despite repeated xrays but as I was still complaining about it (after shoulder surgery on the other side!), my surgeon ordered an MRI which did resolve the question. It turned out to be a fracture right at the base of the 1st metacarpal. Fortunately no surgery was necessary. I wore a splint for several weeks. I feel it a bit when I do too much chopping in the kitchen but no problem on the bike!

Hope you have the best possible outcome.

I had a second opinion consult on my wrist today. Xrays and CT scan not conclusive. There are abnormaliites in both the scaphoid and trapezium but not sure if they are fractures. I need to have an MRI to confirm and it will take 3-5 days to get insurance authorization and an appointment.
So I am still to wear a splint and stay off of the bike.
