I've had a fracture in my right hand, and as a result, my radial nerve got damaged. Now my wrist has dropped, and I can't lift my fingers anymore. I'm currently going through physiotherapy, but I'm not seeing much improvement. What could be going wrong, and is there anything else I should be doing to help with the recovery?

If you're not noticing significant improvement, it might be helpful to reassess your treatment plan with your healthcare provider to explore additional options.
