Suggest treatment for stiffness in the wrist despite having physical therapy
Patient: 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. Doctor: Hi,  It can commonly happen in a wrist surgery.  Generally, it will settle by itself over time.  If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopedician and get an MRI scan done.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
