Gosh, really sorry to hear she is in so much pain. Surgery is hard. Did they give her pain pills temporarily? It's only been 2 days post op which is pretty fast. Well, now it has been a few more days than that. Is it any better? If she has ligament issues surrounding the area and it was a complex repair, it will hurt more and longer, unfortunately. Normally about 2 weeks after surgery, people can do light movement of the wrist. When in doubt though, check back with her doctor!
I know the chances of you coming back to the site are pretty slim but I thought I would comment anyway. 10 years ago I fell and broke my wrist playing basketball with my nephew lol anyway I still have the plate and screw in there. I went through excruciating pain after the surgery it went into neuropathy it was horrendous. Now it’s giving me trouble again and I’m thinking do I have to have it removed and just the thought of going through that kind of pain.., again does
