Hi guys I'm mainly concerned with my main meb referral condition on my left wrist ive had reconstruction surgery to repair my SL ligament but it's come undone again 5 mm gap or whatever, no ligament, unstable. I would be getting a 4 corner fusion this week or next but the full meb memo came right after I found out the surgery did not work. So I am in a hotel for my CnP appointments

I am worried because In theory I could end up only being rated for 10%for range of motion but in general/at work my left hand is useless and most likely will be until I get a fusion done I have constant pain to some point even with a brace/not using it. I have read it's still possible to be rated for a higher rated condition I know the doctor should be able to figure this out at my appointment but any useful info is appreciated

So far dental is a bust but it's honestly not bothering me that much anyway next week I have audiology/tinnitus, mental, and a range of joint and nerve conditions Thanks in advance it's a critical week for me I want to make sure I do this right
 
here is the how it will rate directly copy/paste-

remember- STOP at pain- they will ask you if you can do more- NO

first column major- second minor
