@glorialenora1 , how soon after her wrist fracture was your mother in law able to starg knitting?

This is very hopeful and really yup, using it again the best you can as soon as the doc says or OT to get moving and prevent scar tissue is worth asking about even if dr doesn't usually order it and if insurance will pay or finances arent an issue. And of course there are tons of different kinds of fractures.

I just had trigger finger surgery. Can't straighten out my finger or make a fist. My PT told me to definitely get an order for OT as I heal keloid and walk with crutches so I need to get my hand back ASAP.

I asked and he says he never orders OT but also never needed to see me again after 1 week postop. He said he would order OT, no problem. Worth asking to get the best help moving faster.

The OT, after seeing I was already forming scar tissue, said it was very good advice from my PT. So, get all the help for a speedy recovery you can. Esp if there are other issues like fibro, autoimmune etc that can possibly interfere.

Im glad I asked. I walk on my hands 😎. Sometimes I feel like the doctor has no skin in the game like we do so we have to take care of ourselves first.

😁 my best.
