I had my surgery three weeks ago tomorrow. I am in a hard cast. the first was put on last Friday. The pin in my thumb was slightly out of place and the surgeon pulled it back in place be fore casting an put extra gauze to keep it in place. By Saturday night I had stabbing pain in the back of my hand. Went to acute care but the were afraid to do anything. Saw the surgeon Monday and the cast was removed and the pin was sticking out of my hand. she was 50/50 on removing the pin or trying to reposition it again and put extra padding to keep it from moving. We decided to try repositioning it again. By Tuesday night it was sticking through my hand again. Saw her today and the pin was removed and hand recasted. Anyone else had this problem? I am worried the ligament may not heal correctly with out the pin.
