Well, today I went to see Dr. Dunn, the orthopaedic surgeon, to find out the results of my MRI. Turns out I don't have a cyst in my wrist. He's really not sure of what is causing my wrist to hurt so badly. He said there may be a tear in my wrist the wasn't picked up on the MRI. He injected a steroid into my wrist today...very painful!!! He said that more often than not, this treatment takes care of the problem. However, if my wrist is still bothering me in 3 weeks, he wants me to come back for a follow up appointment and then we will discuss doing an arthroscopic procedure of wrist to take a look inside the joint. Please pray that the steroid injection works!!! I don't need to have yet another surgery!
