broken bones!

Post by majc2213 »

just when i thought things were back on track, i broke my wrist!

all i can think of to do is running, cycling and leg training and lots of sit ups.

does anyone have any ideas for training that ive over looked?

and also has anyone broken there wrist before? i was just wondering how long t took them to get back to training? press ups/ chin ups etc?

cheers

When i broke my wrist about 4 years ago, i had it in Cast for 6 weeks.

It feels weird once it's out and you cant move it properly for about another 2-3 days after it's out, so about 2-3 days after it's out i would imagine you would be able to start training again, i'm no expert on this though, that's just from my own personal experince.

i had it put in cast last night, i broke it 2 weeks ago, but when the guy took my xray he didnt spot a break! so i get a phone call saying go to hospital and see if theres any damage, like healing in the wrong place.

so he said may only have the cast for 2-4 weeks

I broke both my wrists at the same time once and was in plaster for 8 weeks! Great times where had once toilet time came around!

Make sure you get physio straight out of plaster and continue it aslong as recommended by a good physio

also popped my scaphoid a few times on both hands which are buggers to heal.

you should be in plaster 6-8 weeks and it will be stiff and achy once out of it so get to a physio to strengthen it back up.

Get one of them squeezing balls that are for wrist strengthening they do the trick, failing that go on a masturbation frenzy and do it in the name of medicine!!!

how long after the cast was off did it take before you were doing upper body training again.

I broke my wrist last year when skiing. I had the cast on for 6 weeks. It felt well wierd when the cast was removed and i can remember for a few weeks after it still ached when i tried to do pressups and put weight on my wrist.

But still theres plenty of other training u can do!!
You can even try doing 1 arm pressups :P

Climbing rope snapped, what was worse I was only about 3 foot of the deck when it happened!

Lay there whinging like a baby when my oppo kindly offered to help me up by pulling on my arms, think I vomited as I passed out!

Good day climbing wrecked by a dodgy rope, and a bootneck first aider, who went on a refresher once I got back from leave!!!!!

Broke fingers and cheek when a good mate wanted to tap off with a bird I had pulled in Jesters down Union Strasse! We discussed the matter like pished lads do and battered the shite out of each other! Didnt know the extent of the injuries until I woke up next morning with a morning glory and no woman to help out! :lol:

Broke my patella when a rover drove over my slit trench in Kuwait and I yomped back to base on it! (patella not the rover!)

Broke my sternum playing rugger for Cdo Logs when I was also duty medic!

Broke elbow trying to clear the 6 foot wall at Sennybridge!

Scaphoid 4 times mountain biking, also my collar bone twice!

And left wrist slipping on a german street covered in ice, and I managed to catch the food shopping as I fell. Missus looked on pissing herself!

two toes on a mega yomp in north wales.

......and my heart several times cos Im such a nice lad!! FARK ORF HARRY before ye says owt!! :lol: :lol:

The Strasse.

Once broke me nose and both cheekbones. A beer crate will do that mind! What hacked me off was the fact it happened as I was walking into the Metric and I had nought to do with the altracation taking place at the time.

Had Brufen tablets stuck all over me fizzog for yonks. So much for Matelot MA's and their advice!

One Friday night in Norge Sinbad whilst "under the influence" once put this poor Sods legs in Plaster when the bloke was Zonked out in his pit. (Lanke the place where anything ruled) The bloke was also very much "under the influence". He was "Plastered Up" until monday morning when it was broken to him that he hadnt done what he had been told he'd done. Just that Sinbad fancied the bint he was going to shack up with that weekend and had decided that the bloke wasnt good enough for her! The rest of us being All round good eggs and bricks had willingly assisted Sinbad in his task. :D

Artist knowing Sinbad and his antics that story still had me crying with joy!!

Both he and I were duty medics in a shitehole near Gol one year when an attached para and a very young just out of the factory bootneck both hobbled in with dodgy looking ankles!

We all took turns on the entonox and had a look see at the lads in pain! The young bootneck was looking non too pleased as Sinbad under the influence was bandaging the wrong limb!!! Then the Norge paramedics turned up to take them both for xrays and as the para was placed on a stretcher, they dropped him and sinbad trod on his ankle!!!

I broke 4 ribs in the following fits of laughter (not really but was funny as flip)
