Wrist pain post op : You should be thoroughly evaluated by an upper extremity surgeon . Your wrist pain can be secondary to several causes.

Check with a Hand MD: With a history of previous wrist trauma, it is worrisome that you are now having increased wrist pain. Recommend xrays and a consult with a fellowship trained hand surgeon.
