Hurt Wrist, Hand, and Thumb
Posted: 07-02-08 21:04pm

I fell in the shower seven weeks ago and my wrist, thumb, and hand still hurt. I fell on an outstretched hand. I got soap in my eyes and as I tried to turn around I slipped while I had both hands on the wall. My right one in back of me and my left on the side of me and as I fell, both hands went all the way down until I reached the tub surround. My left thumb bent inward underneath my left hand when I hit the tub surround. The pain immediately begun and it was awful. Is it possible that it could be more than a sprain?

This was because when I got surgery on my ankle in April, a few weeks later, I tried to take a shower and not put alot of weight on my ankle and that is how I fell. As I turned around I slipped.
