Partial Ligament Tear Wrist?

[hollifield21]

I was in my first race back in August of last year. I was running in the 125 D class and was in 6th position of 18 riders. I was on the last lap trying to hold off another rider when I crashed on a tricky up hill step up. I initially thought that I just had a sprained right wrist, after having pain for almost four months I decided to go to the doctor. After going to the doctor (orthopedic specializing in wrist and hand) and having a MRI, I'm being told that it looks like I have a partial ligament tear between the metacarpals. The doctor wants to schedule arthrogram and surgury in conjuction with one another. If I go through with the surgery I'm told that I will have pins in my wrist and it will be in a cast for ten weeks. I'm still able to ride as we speak but with different leaves of pain.

I hoping that someone out there can give me some input on the situation.

It is between the wrist bone and the fourth and/or fifth metacarpals?

I'm not sure, I would need to ask my doctor.
