My wrist slips the same way hun - so i really feel your pain (the cartilage that holds my bones together at the wrist is FUBAR - well, missing now seeing that's what the first surgeon "fixed"). it sucks because sometimes the pain is unbearable. in the months between now and the surgeon appointment, i'm wondering if some /massage physio will help. obviously our injuries are a bit different, but similar action happening - and i've found massage to get all the other tendons and things in place right stops it slipping as much. it hurts like all hell to get it done, and for a day or two after, cos we have to break up the nerve clusters where they have bundled up at the carpal tunnel area - but the relief and reduction in slipping afterwards is sooooooooooooo welcome! i was in tears yesterday getting it attacked by TBG, but feeling a lot less ouchy today, and the general "i just moved so my wrist popped" hasn't happened since then. it might be something to consider.

gotta go to work - will come back later to see how you're going. i guess for now you need to work out how to manage the pain so that you're not needing strong pain meds (i hate taking them so i have come up with some pretty good coping techniques for adapting everyday life!)
