Broken Bones!!
Well, I'm feeling pretty peevd off.
Had a high speed crash yesterday & broke my wrist in three places.......no MTB for 6 - 8 weeks, and just as I was up to peak fitness. Not as bad as some injuries mentioned here, but its gonna be a long raod to get back in the saddle! |

I'd have to guess "yes". Not to be negative about the situation, but my guess is that you'll be out of action longer than 6-8 weeks if your wrist is *that* broken. I'm newly recovered from a wrist injury from a bike crash and I was off the bike 6 months. May you be far more fortunate than I. John M Oh, and once it's well enough to move around, I suggest stretching exercises. |

blathered: Had a high speed crash yesterday & broke my wrist in three places.......no MTB for 6 - 8 weeks And the rest...prepare yourself for a bit longer off the bike than that. How did it happen? Was it painful? My guess... broken wrist in three places... I'd have to guess "yes". Surprisingly, no - my wrist and fore-arm were in a lot more than 3 pieces, but I got back on the bike and continued riding until I got to a railway station where I could leave my bike and get a taxi to hospital. Apparently, that part of the arm does not feel pain too much; the downside is that it also doesn't respond well to pain relief. The most painful episode for me was when I slipped while running a week after having the cast removed. I instinctively put out my hand to break my fall, and it bent back a lot further than the tendons and muscle actually wanted to go at that point - ten times more painful than the original break, and certainly the most pain I have ever experienced.

John M That's not always the case, thankfully. I took a fall on my bike last fall and broke my right wrist & was back riding in about 8 weeks I rode the stationary some too. Not having my right hand for 2 months was the worst part for me....makes so many common activities challenging. Scottg |
