Good luck with your Sister. It has been a long road.
yes, thank goodness...I walk nearly every day, for at least an hour or so... 3.5 - 4 miles. I have a fitness app on my Samsung Galaxy that has a step counter and exercise timer. Looking at the history I average about 7 hours per week of timed walking, which doesn't include incidental daily activity like shopping, cooking or working around the house...

Hand Surgeon identified the exact bone/tissue generating the pain with injections of a little bit of short acting anesthesia, which resulted in no pain for like 2-3 hours. Surgery scheduled for 2.5 weeks from no.
Her wrist will be good as new.
One tip: DO NOT SEE A GENERAL ORTHO! GO TO only A BOARD CERTIFIED HAND SURGEON!!!
Thanks Robert, for the advice to see only a Board certified hand surgeon if surgery becomes necessary. Knowing how Kaiser takes a conservative and methodical approach to health issues, I'm guessing the next step will be a cortisone injection and then surgery
