Bilateral Wrist Fractures

Motorcycle head on collision with another motorcycle aftermath. Hi energy Bilateral Radius fractures, ulna fractures and plated and screwed. This is 2 weeks after soft casts. 6 weeks of fiberglass casts followed. I had so much swelling in my right had I went through 3 fiberglass casts in the first 3 weeks. I was on Dilaudid (Hydromorphone) every 3 hours for 10 days. Went through 2 days of incredible withdrawal then went on Oxycodone for 6 more weeks. Bruising went past my elbows on the outside and I had incredible nerve sensitivity (intense burning) for 3 months.
