OK so i went to the doc tuesday and he said if i wanted any more movement out of my right hand( injury from that accident) that i would need another surgery but he could not do it i would have to go to another specialist. keep in mind he is sapposed to be the best hand surgeon in our area( maybe for just what i had before) and we had many references on him. He said nothing more than that. i assumed tendons were locking like before.
My last surgery i had because he pieced my hand back together wrong( chunk of bone with cartilage should have had cartilage facing joint but was turned 90 degrees so it was in the center of my bone, i had some movement after this mistake.)
I went to physical therapy today like normal but happend to have my x rays in the truck still and she wanted to see them so i showed her. keep in mind since the surgery to repair the pieced together wrong bone, i have had little to no movement in my pinky, most movement being maybe 5 degrees, and that puts me in SCREAMING pain.she said" you have got to be kidding me". she wouldnt flat out say( i think to protect herself) that it was the docs fault BUT made it very clear that it was.. I have a NOT NORMAL dislocation( has been this way since my last surgery to fix the bone that was pieced together wrong). She pretty much said its from the doc but didnt flat out say it( like i said i think to protect herself). im attaching a pic of the x ray so you can see.
This is a surgery i will have to have but she said i wouldnt have to get right away, although ill be in pain until its fixed and will cause more damage to the joint until its fixed but she talked like i could wait up to a year. She also said to get this fixed she knows of a very good doc across the river in saint louis at barnes hospital that she would use if she was me. ( basically steered me away from the doc i have used after this.)

see there is NO joint space.. the lighter spots you see is 2 pins i still have in my hand. this was just a vent. thanks for listening!
