i had a ganglion cyst removed October 31, 2017 (seven weeks ago). I still cannot bend my wrist downward. doctor says its stiff and put me in therapy. after 2nd PT visit and home exercises each day, it doesn t seem any more loose than before. I have some numbness on the top of my hand and incision still sore.
Hi, It can commonly happen in a wrist surgery. Generally, it will settle by itself over time. If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopedic and get an MRI scan done. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
