Mate has crashed a rather rare car and I’m really struggling not to reply to some of the fuchwits commenting on car buzz....... but you can’t fix stupid

Ach ignore the Wayne Kerrs, biting back does one no good.0

Aach, that's dull TLW, hope it's repairable. Unfortunately doubt I can help on parts if it's what I think it is.
Back to being about me, current thinking is to avoid surgery as likelihood of improvement didn't seem good enough. A second opinion sounds sensible, but I think I'll give the physio more time as I'm reasonably functional at the moment.0 -
A good physio should be able to give you an informed opinion on whether surgery is the way forward.0

The car is repairable said the man from his hospital bed 😂

Fer shure. I'm still pixxed at myself for snapping back at one such earlier this week. Chances of delivering an antidotal serious kicking to such is... zero.tlw1 said:

Good call about probabilities. That's what I did before the couplemof occasions when I had surgery.hopkinb said:
What's the difference?veronese68 said:<
So with no surgery it might improve as I carry on the physio, i will almost certainly end up suffering with arthritis when even older than i already am.
With surgery I would be back to square one initially, but hopefully the clicking and locking up would get fixed. I would have no more movement than I do now. Arthritis pretty much a certainty.
What would you do?
Carry on with physio - it "might" improve, you get arthritis.
Get surgery - it will "hopefully" improve, you get arthritis, p!ssed-up orthopaedic surgeon "fixes" the wrong wrist, and leaves his cufflink in your arm, more surgery.
Seems the only difference is the surgery, which hurts. I'd be asking my orthopaedic consultant to put some numbers on "might" and "hopefully". If "might" is 10% chance, and "hopefully" is 75% chance, I'd be wanting the surgery (though armed with a magic marker to write "this one" on the correct wrist, and checking his cufflinks for stability under pressure), but if it's 50:50, I'd be carrying on with the physio before going under the knife.
V, also sometimes quite good to ask the doc/surgeon what they would do of they were in your situation.

Yes, I did ask what she would do if it was her wrist. She started as if she would say no to surgery then checked herself and said she didn't want to steer me in either direction as it was up to me.Stevo_666 said:

Physio thinks it can improve further. Now looking at building strength rather than just flexibility.
All of this makes me think I should keep going with the physio then review and possibly get a second opinion.0 -
Sensible approach, no harm defering the decision of surgery for a bit as you can always take it a bit later.veronese68 said:

You might be able to get a bionic replacement if you can delay it long enough.Stevo_666 said:

Good place to race
Mind you, not nearly as crackers as Pike's Peak/Sebastian Loeb.

He is such an unassuming chap that only when we were discussing altitude pre Kilimanjaro did he mention he once raced at altitude at pikes peak0
