Today I saw a doctor about my wrist injury. I was diagnosed with a tear two months earlier. The physiotherapist said I could remove it more often to lift light objects. So today after my examination I told the doctor my movement is better but it's painful. He said you have to work through the pain. I mentioned what the physiotherapist said with regards to the splint. He said yes take it off more often and only wear when lifting heavy things or feeling pain. Otherwise it can become a crutch.

What does it mean with regards to crutch comment?

I have a high pain tolerance due to years of being abused. It's difficult for me to say I'm in pain or show it

I also have issue with my elbow. Last appointment he mentioned see how things are. Next appointment if there is no improvement I could send you for a nerve conduction test. Today I described my elbow symptoms. He said neve conduction tests are painful..didn't seem keen. Mentioned I could have torn liagament. Not sure. Left in the air

I tend to be sensitive due to bad experiences with doctors in the past.
