On Feb. 18, 2005 I fell on ice at home and broke two bones in my left wrist. One bone is still "unattached" or chipped and considered still broken.
The recovery seemed endless, but it has begun to feel normal to me, to have partial use of my left hand. It is such an improvement over NO use, that I love having just partial.
I hope to have total use of the wrist within one year.
The cast(s) were undoubtedly the most stressful for me. Some folks just breeze through that stage, but I struggled, at best.
Each person has a threshold for pain and discomfort....mine must be on the low side, as I hated the entire event.
I fractured my right arm before the start of 6 grade. It was fun trying to write (I'm right-handed) with a cast on. :rolleyes: I was running through the front yard and tripped over a sprinkler and landed on the sidewalk.
Hi! Yup, I've done it big time. Several years ago I fell off a horse during a lesson. Among other things I had two dislocations & three breaks in my wrist and broke my pelvis in three places. Then a little over a year ago I fell walking home from church and ended up with my ankle broken in two places. Broken bones are definitely NOT recommended!!!!!
Yes, my right hand. I was diving head first back to second base in a softball game and my middle finger caught the base and snapped backwards. I could hear a pop, but since I was still able to move my hand, I and none of my teammates realized it was broken. I finished up the game so they wouldn't have to forfeit.
I went to work the next day and by then it had swollen up quite a bit, but I still didn't realize it was broken. After 3 more days of working with a broken hand, that wasn't improving, I decided maybe I should go to the doctor. Sure enough it was broken, but they had to order some brace that was going to take a couple of weeks to get there. Uh, I don't think so.
I then went to a sports medicine doctor and he right away put me in a cast. I think that was about 10 years ago. I don't have any pain in that hand and it works great. Thank goodness I went to the sports doctor, it most likely would have never healed correctly in just a brace.
Par...
I broke my arm when I was 11-12. I was chasing my friend around outside at school and this nasty girl stuck her foot out and tripped me. I fell so fast, I didn't have time to break my fall by putting my arms out, so my entire body weight landed on my right arm.
It hurt a lot at first, but after that wasn't so bad. I got out of doing dishes because of the cast and got out of gym class (woo hoo!), so I didn't mind!
