MRI, upper extremity joint(s)

So I finally got my MRI results after what I thought was just a bad wrist sprain. Turns out it's more than that.

What they found:

• Partial tear of the scapholunate ligament (the ligament connecting two small bones in my wrist). Multiple parts of it are damaged.
• Some bone swelling in my hand/wrist area — doctor mentioned it could be early inflammatory arthritis or something called CRPS, so I need to follow up on that
• Small ganglion cyst near the tear (about 1cm) — apparently, these are common and often harmless
• Some fluid buildup in the wrist joint
• The good news: no fractures, no carpal instability, tendons are fine

Where I'm at:

No surgery scheduled yet. From what I've read, treatment could range from splinting and PT all the way to arthroscopic surgery, depending on how things look. I am in constant pain. Wearing the brace, keeping my thumb immobilized at all times. I cannot pick up anything, text, button my clothes, and I'm getting fatter. I see a rheumatologist on Tuesday. And have a follow up Auguest 18 with the orthopedic. I can't keep living like this.

Has anyone here dealt with a scapholunate tear? How long was your recovery? Did you end up needing surgery?
