I am so pleased you now have the right diagnosis, it was obvious to me when I saw the photos my heart goes out to you because I have been there.I was afraid to give too much information because it's a scary condition. Mine is 15 years ago now but I was unlucky enough to have my hand set as though holding a cup (because of the nature of the fracture) and because of the RSD my fingers remained bent but thanks to the therapists and a lot of painful exercises they are now almost fully straight again. Keep up with the excersises, they are very painful and you may always have a 'slanted' hand but at the end of the day if it hadn't been picked up and treated it could have been much much worse. All I was told at the time was it was a reaction of the nervous system. Good look with the exercises, just grit your teeth, the more you do the better your hand will beThanks guys, I am off soon to get the bus and I will ask about RSD at Hand Therapy appointment. Also in the clinic there are leaflets on Arthritis, so I will have a look at those. I will ask questions about the hand/wrist, but when the cast was removed on the 16th Sept,, with an xray, consultant said it had healed remarkably well !! BFN
