This week I’ve got my lomg awaited, way overdue check up.

Straight into xray, so I couldn’t ask the doctor about my elbow before xray. But never mind.

The knot in the wire is why I really wanted this appointment. It pokes through, hurts and scar tissue is building up.

We agreed the wire needs to come out, and actually it might be the reason I can’t flex my Dip joint (tip of thumb) because the tendon may be stuck due to the scar tissue, so they suggested an Extensor Tendolysis.

Wait list is around 2 to 3 months time. It will be done under a nerve block again, bulky bandage for 2 weeks, then stitches out, soft brace, then physio really starts.
