Greetings all
About a year ago I broke my right wrist in a rather spectacular way after an eight foot fall. Basically I snapped the ends off both arm bones where they join the wrist and then i dislocated my wrist back up on top off and along my arm. I believe its called a Colles fracture or similar. Anyway after 12 weeks in plaster and months of rehab its functioning to an extent. I have no where near the movement/ flexibilty that i used to have though.
Now for the bit where im after advise. I was told at the time that there were bone fragments still floating that they wernt going to do anything with. I had no pins or screws as they were able to manipulate it all back into position. Now i have an almost constant sprained wrist feeling and if i bump it from a certain angle it hurts like a mother F@$ker if you know what i mean. Did they do a good enough job on me or did I get the doctor from the Holywood upstairs medical school (high everybody). Mount Isa base hospital isnt exactly world renowed for its orthopeadic surgery.
Whenever I ride for a decent length of time my wrist hurts for hours afterwards and now that weve been getting a bit of rain and humidity its been giving me no end of gyp.
Are these just facts of life that have to be put up with after a nasty break. Has anyone out there experienced similar and are there any suplements etc that would help from your experience.
Yours with a nancy limp wrist
