after the last time I posted I spoke to a woman I know whose daughter had the same type of break and she talked me through the treatment she had, which was the same as recommended for my DS1 so I decided to give the public system a 2nd chance and at the next appointment his case was reviewed by 3 consultants and a good course of action agreed on. He was given a lower arm splint to support his wrist as he had nerve damage that they expected to resolve around the 6 week mark and his bones have started to knit together nicely.

Fast forward to today and his x-rays are looking fine but his nerves are still not recovered almost 7 weeks post break, so we had nerve conduction tests done by a neurologist. These tests showed damage to the median nerve although it is in continuum, and severe damage to the radial nerve with no evidence that is it in continuum (ie it could possibly be severed).

Please, does anyone have experience with this sort of injury and what should I do? I have made an appointment for the GP tonight to go through the results but he doesn't have an orthopaedic appointment for 2 weeks and the neurologist just gave me the report with no recommendation for treatment. Should I be pushing for a quicker appointment or do you think I should call the orthopaedic registrar at the hospital and ask for advice? Please please please any help so gratefully received.
