Distal Radius Fracture Surgery Recovery | Part 1

In this video, I’m sharing my experience after breaking my wrist and undergoing distal radius surgery. This is not medical advice, but my personal story for anyone going through something similar or supporting someone who is. I talk about how the injury happened, why surgery was necessary, the kind of pain I experienced, how long it lasted, what I’ve been eating, and the everyday challenges of functioning with only one arm. I also share what activities and exercises I’m currently able to do during recovery. This is Part 1 of the journey. I’m hoping to record Part 2 as I continue healing and regain more strength and mobility. At this point, the pain is mostly gone, though I still feel some discomfort and overall exhaustion from the experience. I recorded this video very spontaneously, without preparation, and I still feel a bit slow and emotionally shocked by everything that happened. I also haven’t taken the splint off yet, so I still haven’t fully seen what my arm looks like after surgery. If you’d like to read more about how the injury happened and what my first day at the hospital was like, you can find my full article on Substack: https://substack.com/home/post/p-1968... I am sure you’re here because you’re going through the same experience — or know someone who is — so I truly wish you/them a speedy recovery, strength through the pain, and patience with the emotional side of healing too. #wristsupport #distalradius #surgery #DistalRadiusFracture #WristSurgery #SurgeryRecovery #BrokenWrist #RecoveryJourney #OrthopedicSurgery #HealingJourney #WristFracture #PostSurgeryRecovery #InjuryRecovery
