I don t remember the hits however in result my wrist- hand hangs down, I cant move my wrist at all, my finger still can wiggle, I have seen a Dr. was told it may take several months to return to normal, or sergary. This happened 2 weeks ago....... My question is: is there any home therapy I should be doing? Or what should I be doing or not be doing?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

If you are unable to move your wrist then it needs an orthopedic evaluation. An orthopedic doctor will immobilize your wrist after having a X-ray of wrist to confirm the extent of dislocation. After he fixes the wrist, then you need to take care of the hand by not moving hand unnecessarily.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
