Severe osteoarthritis in right wrist.

Recently an old sports injury has come back. Turns out that, years ago I broke my wrist. Except for stiffness, it never gave me much of a problem until recently. All the cartilage is gone leaving bone scraping on bone. The pain is excruciating and I will be having my wrist fused in February. By the way this is my strumming hand, not the neck hand. Has anyone here had the same experience? Will I still be able to play after the wrist is fused?
