What kind of doctor would best treat a sprained wrist and hand with injury to tendons, ligaments?

[Grasswire2]

I am distinctly unhappy with my primary care provider's performance.

Ten weeks past incident (I sprained it trying to muscle off the lid of a peanut butter jar).

Continuing deep pain in hand, fingers, wrist. Non-functionable to a degree. My primary hand.

Xray showed no fracture. Recent CT showed deep tissue okay, but would not visualize tendons, ligaments, etc.

Can't have MRI because I have a pacemaker. MRI would be the best tool, but it's out.

Last week my primary (who has run out ideas or doesn't give a FK) told me she thinks it might be GOUT.

Ridiculous.

I need a specialist. Orthopedist? Sports medicine? Maybe a hand surgeon.

The functionality of the hand and fingers is getting worse.

1. Orthopedist--and they can specialize in hands, feet, knees, etc. nt

2. I'd probably choose an Orthopedist first, but any of specialists you mentioned should be able to help.

3. A hand specialist is my humble opinion

I saw one for a work related injury. Repetitive motion injury.
Was SO GLAD the primary referred me to the specialist. I was able to get great PT and you should be able to as well.

The hand specialist did want surgery but I did not and we were able to come to terms with a length of PT that worked for my case.

Best wishes. Get a referral to a hand specialist if you can.

4. A hand specialist. It really is its own specialty. An ortho might be able

to recommend someone. Or call around to Occupational Therapy clinics, ask if they have a hand specialist OT on staff, then ask that OT if they know of a hand specialist doctor they could recommend.

5. Hand specialist.

7. neck's fine

I know exactly the event that caused the sprain of the hand-wrist.
I was determined to get the lid off a new JIF peanut butter large plastic jar. I gave it all my strength.
Mistake.
