So here's the update on my wrist injury. The good news is that I don't have carpal tunnel. It did turn out to just be a tragic (drunk) potato sack race accident.
I saw the neurologist and she said that it wasn't carpal tunnel. So she referred me to an orthopedist who was able to see me the same day. I had a slew of new x-rays taken and he said that I had some soft tissue damage. Too much vodka before the potato sack race I guess. I was prescribed 10 sessions with a physical therapist, located in the same building, who was able to fit me in 10 minutes later.
Everything turned out fine. My wrist is completely healed. The medical care I received was top drawer. I had a few office visits, several x-rays, and multiple physical therapy sessions and it didn't cost me a single penny. Love socialised health care!! In the USA, even with insurance, all of this would have still cost me several hundred dollars.
