Weeks of PT/OT and an anit-inflammatory diet like organic green Mediterranean, low gluten, non-GMO diet.
Hello,

Thank you for your question. There are many types of wrist surgeries and the recovery process for each one can be very different. For example, recovery following a carpal tunnel release is very different than recovering from repair of a broken bone or torn ligament. Is there a particular type of wrist surgery you are inquiring about? It would be important to keep your hand elevated, manage your pain appropriately, eat a healthy diet, and follow your surgeon's postoperative instructions carefully.
