A 52-year-old retired schoolteacher and avid knitter arrives at outpatient physical therapy 8 weeks after she tripped on a garden hose and fractured her wrist catching herself. Her cast came off 2 weeks ago. She is upset and near tears: her hand and wrist actually hurt more now than they did the day she broke them, and she says the pain feels wrong somehow, far worse than any wrist should feel.
